The True Story Of Wayward Sheltie Woman And Magical Place Called Rivershire

Once upon a time in a faraway land, lived a woman named Emily who had a deep affinity for adventure and an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. She had always been fascinated by the tales of mystical places and enchanting creatures that seemed to exist only in folklore. Emily had recently become the proud owner of a beautiful sheltie named Luna, who possessed an uncanny ability to sense the invisible threads connecting the human world and the realm of magic.

One sunny morning, while Emily was taking Luna for their usual stroll in the nearby woods, she stumbled upon an old and weathered parchment lying beneath a moss-covered stone. The parchment was inscribed with intricate symbols and a cryptic message that read, "Beyond the rivers, lies the path to untold wonders. Seek the secret land of Rivershire to unveil the lost mysteries."

Intrigued and captivated by this mysterious message, Emily embarked on a perilous journey to discover the hidden land of Rivershire. She had grown tired of the mundane routine of everyday life and yearned for a place where magic reigned supreme.

Guided by Luna's extraordinary instincts, Emily traversed treacherous terrains and crossed roaring rivers, overcoming numerous challenges along the way. After days of tireless exploration, they stumbled upon a hidden entrance concealed by an overgrown thicket. Pushing aside the dense foliage, they entered a world unlike any they had ever seen.

Rivershire, as the parchment had promised, was indeed a magical place. It was a realm lush with vibrant flora and inhabited by mystical creatures of all shapes and sizes. The air crackled with energy, and the tranquility enveloping the land was palpable. Emily and Luna were greeted by a benevolent community of fairies, sprites, and woodland creatures who sensed their genuine curiosity and welcomed them with open arms.

As months turned into years, Emily immersed herself in the fascinating history and traditions of Rivershire. She learned that the land had once been plagued by an ancient curse that had robbed its inhabitants of joy and prosperity. Through her unwavering determination and the assistance of Luna, Emily discovered that she held the key to breaking the curse and restoring Rivershire to its former glory.

However, breaking the curse required immense courage and a deep understanding of the land's intricate magical web. Emily embarked on a quest to gather the four enchanted relics scattered across the land. With each relic, her bond with Luna grew stronger, and the support of the magical community amplified.

Through her encounters with wise old wizards, mischievous imps, and elegant fairies, Emily learned valuable lessons about love, forgiveness, and the resilience of the human spirit. She tackled riddles, solved intricate puzzles, and faced her deepest fears head-on. Every step of the way, Luna stood by her side, her sheltie companion providing unwavering loyalty and guidance.

Finally, after years of relentless pursuit, Emily gathered the four enchanted relics and stood at the heart of Rivershire, where the curse's source resided. Drawing upon her newfound wisdom and strength, she released the relics' combined energy, banishing the curse that had plagued Rivershire for centuries.

Rivershire transformed before their eyes. The land blossomed with vibrant colors, and laughter echoed through the meadows. The once sorrowful inhabitants now wore smiles of contentment, as hope and happiness filled their hearts.

Emily, now hailed as the savior of Rivershire, was forever honored and welcomed as a beloved member of the magical community. She found solace and purpose in her newfound home, her heart brimming with gratitude for the remarkable journey she had undertaken.

And so, the tale of the wayward sheltie woman and the enchanted land called Rivershire lived on as a testament to the power of perseverance, friendship, and the age-old magic woven into the fabric of our world.

Set on the banks of the Boardman River, just south of Traverse City, Michigan, River Love is a compelling memoir about a dog named Sheldon and his remarkable journey to his true home. Tricia Frey shares her deeply personal story, starting from the day she and her sister co-purchased the river property in 2005. The following spring, Tricia spotted the skittish, frightened little Sheltie she eventually named Sheldon. A shed was transformed into a house for Sheldon and a bond of love began. It took Tricia two years to establish the trust needed to touch him for the first time and eventually get him into her home on this special piece of land known as Rivershire.

Rivershire is a magical place, beckoning in lost souls in need of transformation and safe harbor. In this place, a wayward Sheltie finds his home, a stronger sisterhood emerges, and Tricia comes to trust and believe in herself once again through the love of a dog and the nurturing powers of nature.

Simply stated, River Love is a story of resilience, healing, redemption, and—most of all—love. With humor, grace, touching narrative, and an unforeseen turn of events, River Love will draw you in, never letting go of your heart.

Editorial Reviews:

This is not a typical dog story of love or heartbreaking loss. Quite the opposite, in fact, it’s about challenging beginnings and joyful endings. For anyone who has struggled to heal a damaged soul, River Love is an absolute must read. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. And in the end you’ll be better off for spending these pages with Sheldon and Tricia. ~Keith Gave, author, The Russian Five

Cat lover? Dog lover? Or simply a casual observer of the human condition? River Love shows us how pets, people and place come together to foster recovery, redemption and love. Wonderfully written with passion, Tricia Frey has a way with words. She can take the simplest of situations, turn a phrase and offer the reader a magical experience. Don ‘t miss this read! ~John Wemlinger, author, Winter’s Bloom and Before the Snow Flies

Tricia’s Frey’s River Love is a heartwarming tale of her love for a lost dog named Sheldon, which tugs at the reader’s heart-strings both as a memoir and a mystery.

On a spring day in 2006 the author noticed a Blue Merle Sheltie wandering in the woods near her home, Rivershire, along the Boardman River south of Traverse City, Michigan. Therein lies a mystery as the frightened, hungry, bedraggled dog comes and goes over the next two and a half years to Rivershire—during which time a house was built for him and food provided—always keeping his distance as Frey gradually earns his trust. It would be a crime to reveal the surprise ending of Sheldon and Tricia’s story, but animal-lovers are sure to shed a tear or two at the of this uplifting slice-of-life memoir. ~Robert Downes, author, Windigo Moon, Bicycle Hobo, and Sandy Bottom

In River Love, Tricia Frey seamlessly interweaves themes of thankfulness, loss, epiphany, self-discovery, hardship, natural beauty, & literal puppy love to create a memoir timeless in its effect. The reader is swept along by her story, much like the current of Frey’s beloved Boardman River: at the end they, too, may find themselves changed.~Scott J. Couturier, author, The Mask of Tamrel, poet & short fiction writer
