The House of Goodbyes: Tales from the Compound and other memories

The House of Goodbyes: Tales from the Compound and other memories

Jeff and Gail and their daughter, Haley, have spent over three decades taking in, and caring for, dozens of four legged (and sometimes three legged) dogs, cats, horses and goats and nearly everything in between. This is their story. The animals, that is. How they came to find their forever home, their journey and impact on their human parents and their inevitable goodbye. Told from the perspective of the author, Jeff Pillars, no punches are pulled and no emotions are spared. Often humorous, often bittersweet but always insightful and sometimes opinionated, “House of Goodbyes” is a celebration of the lives of a handful of the worlds faithful fallen. The book also contain several poems, including “Two Old Dogs”, as heard on the nationally syndicated “The John Boy and Billy Big Show” radio program. Jeff Pillars makes his literary debut with The House of Goodbyes, a chronicle of love and loss in a lifetime of rescued animals. Jeff spent many years as a stage and film actor but these days can be heard all over the world as a much in demand voice actor, doing everything from video games to national radio and TV commercials to annoying voices on mobile apps. For the last several years he has been featured on the nationally syndicated radio program, "The John Boy & Billy Big Show" performing his vast array of characters and song parodies. He lives on a farm in rural Mineral Springs, North Carolina, with his long-suffering wife, Gail, and perpetually irritated daughter, Haley and way too many dogs, cats, horses and goats.
