Summary:
Wombat isn't actually a wombat-but when the homeless dog is discovered, singed and ash-covered after a terrible fire destroys a community, someone tags her with the nickname and it sticks. Surrounded by a devastated town, Wombat takes up residence on a bench near the makeshift community center, an old brick warehouse that, for the most part, survived the flames. Wombat refuses to move from her perch, despite the efforts of many humans. Clearly the dog is waiting for someone. But for whom?
