Tessa's Tale Publishing was founded by author Stacy Moss and inspired by two rescue dogs — Poppy, whose journey through three shelters and two failed adoptions became the heart of the first book, and Tessa, who arrived later and quietly became the name on the door.

Everything published and made under this name is held to the same standard: it has to be relatable, it has to have heart, and it has to earn its place in someone's home.
