Publisher Description
Standing Between Stephanie and Her Dream
Is One Hundred Pounds of Lovable Trouble
It should have been so simple for Stephanie Pink: Meet up with Agnes Wharton in a small town in California, retrieve the reclusive author's valuable new manuscript, and be promoted to a full-fledged literary agent.
But Agnes's canine companion, Sweetness, decides to make a break for it before Stephanie can claim her prize. Until Agnes has Sweetness safely back at home in Eagle Cliff, Washington, Stephanie will never set eyes on the manuscript she needs to make her dreams come true.
When Stephanie tracks the runaway mutt to a campground, she meets Rhett Hastings—a man also on the run from a different life and a costly mistake. Rhett agrees to help Stephanie search for the missing dog...thus launching a surprising string of adventures and misadventures.
Once Sweetness gets added to the mix, it's a recipe for love and loss, merriment and mayhem, fun and faith in the backwoods of the Pacific Northwest.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Stephanie Pink is on the verge of realizing her dreams of being a literary agent when author Agnes Wharton promises to share a coveted manuscript with her. But Agnes's dog, Sweetness, runs off before Stephanie can meet with Agnes, and the eccentric author gives her a strange stipulation: bring back Sweetness or no manuscript. Desperate not to lose the hope of her success, Stephanie embarks on a bizarre journey with mysterious Rhett Hastings, whom she meets a campground while tracking the runaway dog. Rhett is a wealthy CEO with a new desire for following God's plan for his life, and he's trying to reunite with his sister, Karen, whose life he once ruined. Together, Rhett and Stephanie road trip across three states in a rundown RV to see Karen and deliver Sweetness safely to Agnes. As Rhett and Stephanie get to know each other, they begin to doubt the reality and importance of their dreams, and start to share a new one. Mentink (Sit, Stay, Love) writes with a humorous style and an openness with her characters that makes them relatable.
