Mistymoto and the Heart of a Nurse

Mistymoto’s world is full of sunshine, routines, and the gentle rhythm of life with her dad—until the morning everything changes.
When a sudden illness shatters the familiar heartbeat of their home, the loyal little cocker spaniel must face fear, loneliness, and the longest wait of her life. Sirens replace morning songs. Quiet replaces comfort. And Mistymoto’s courage is tested in ways she never imagined.
Through her tender, observant eyes, readers follow a journey of devotion, hope, and the quiet bravery that rises when someone you love needs you most. From warm Florida mornings to the uncertain nights spent waiting by the window, Mistymoto discovers that love itself can be a kind of medicine—and that even the smallest heart can be mighty.
A moving, cinematic middle‑grade novel about healing, resilience, and the unbreakable bond between a dog and her human, Mistymoto and the Heart of a Nurse reminds us that kindness is courage, and that hope can find its way home even in the darkest moments.
