Connor, Leslie.  A Home for Goddesses and Dogs.  2020.  Katherine Tegen Books.  New York, NY.

Lydia and her Mom found a treasure trove of old studio portraits of women at a flea market.  They use these photos to create collages that they create into works of art.  It's a series that they entitle "The Goddesses".  They create a new Goddess for every event in their lives. 

After Lydia's mom dies, she takes the Goddesses with her to their new home in Connecticut with Aunt Bratch.  As Lydia settles into her situation, she begins the search for a home for the Goddesses, even as she keeps them hidden, afraid to share this most intimate part of her past.  (Do they have anything to do with the secret in the wall behind the sheep poster?)

But when Bratch adopts a wild and wonderful rescue dog who needs a solid home, love, and consistency, Lydia begins to find her place in a world without her mother. 

You will fall in love with this book filled with Rescue Dogs and Goats, new friends, goddesses, and most of all a love that transcends all and makes an unrelated group of people into a family.
