About But I Already Said Goodbye by Wendy Jensen
Editorial Reviews
“We kissed again, this one different, with a subtle feeling of urgency behind it that reached way down deep into me, like a hook, pulling on something soft and very tender. I pulled away, fighting an urge to leap up and run.”
Shy and introverted Amber begins her first job out of high school cleaning kennels for Helping All Animals, moving quickly into their writing/researching staff using skills gained at her high school’s newspaper. Tom, a one-eyed cat Amber rescued from a hoarder’s house, becomes her best friend and confidant. Hikes into the surrounding New Mexico hills provide her with some solace.
Surrounded by people who speak out against cruelty, Amber gradually awakens to the insidious and pervasive effects her relationship with an older man is having in her own life. Revealing her story to others, even in the face of horror, disgust, and rejection, is her first step towards healing. With the help of Tom’s non-judgmental ear and a friend from work, she fights to peel herself away from the abuse and its effects.
Gradually, Amber learns how to connect with the world, discovering along the way her own inner strength and wisdom.

Author Bio:
Dr. Wendy Jensen knew as a child that she wanted to be an animal doctor. After growing up in three different countries, she went to college and graduated from the New York State College of Veterinary Medicine in 1987. She worked in a small animal practice, also seeing horses, sheep, and goats. Dr. Jensen enjoyed her work, but her patients kept coming back to her with relapsing complaints that the best medicine would only temporarily palliate. Dissatisfied, in 1990 she left practice and spent four years in the animal protection field. During this time, she attended a lecture on veterinary homeopathy and was captivated by this medicine’s logical, straightforward and yet profoundly satisfying philosophy. She went in search of training, completing Dr. Richard Pitcairn’s Professional Course in Veterinary Homeopathy before being certified by the Academy of Veterinary Homeopathy (AVH) in 1994. At that time, she opened the Jensen Homeopathic Veterinary Practice. She edited the AVH’s journal for its first 12 years in publication, and then in 2011, her New World Veterinary Repertory, co-authored with Dr. Pitcairn, came out as software, followed by the published textbook in 2013. She currently writes, lectures, plays violin, and continues to practice homeopathy from her home in New Hampshire.
