Her featured book, Twix Runs Again, tells the story of Johnson and her Border Collie, Twix, after a herniated disc left him paralyzed and emergency surgery began a demanding recovery.

It celebrates the bond between a dog and his person, while showing the possibilities of life after serious injury.
