Books & Books welcomes Isabel Klee for an evening celebrating the release of her memoir, Dogs, Boys, and Other Things I’ve Cried About.
Klee grew up in New Jersey dreaming of New York City. At twenty, she made the move, landing in a basement apartment in Manhattan and eventually finding her footing as an assistant to a dog photographer. That first job sparked a deeper calling: rehabilitating rescue dogs and helping them find homes. Her first true love was Simon, a fluffy puppy rescued from the meat trade, who became her anchor through the highs and lows of her twenties. Woven through the story of Simon and a rotating cast of foster dogs are chapters about friendship, fickle boyfriends, grand romances, and the ongoing search for belonging in a big city.
Honest, tender, and at times devastating, the memoir follows Klee from her scrappy early years in New York to a life built around the dogs and people she loves most.
A portion of proceeds will be donated to Miami-Dade Animal Services.
About the author: Isabel Klee is a writer and content creator based in Brooklyn. She documents her work rehabilitating rescue dogs on social media and lives with her fiance Jacob, her dog Simon, and a rotating cast of foster dogs.
