"Fetching Sweetness"
A Novel
by Dana Mentink
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.
Biography
Dana Mentink is a multi-published, award-winning writer. When she’s not clacking away on the keyboard, she busies herself teaching third grade. Mostly, she loves to be home with her husband, two daughters, a rascally rescued terrier, a chubby box turtle, and a feisty parakeet.
My thoughts ~
The first sentence in this sweet story was a huge invitation to a whole lot of fun and hilarity! Stephanie and Rhett are well depicted, and their stories illustrate how exacting our lives can become. We want what we can't have, and trust is something for which to strive. Strangers to one another, Stephanie and Rhett quickly become entwined in each other's lives through the vivacity of a dog who takes precedence over everything else in their lives.
Once Sweetness is discovered, the story really begins. This big galoot of a dog has a habit of wreaking havoc in the lives of two people working toward life goals, hopefully discovering what God has in store for them. Their trust is questioned throughout this journey, but keeping up with Sweetness and her shenanigans is enough of a challenge that life plans are put on the back burner at times.
This novel about two young adults seeking their respective life dreams, and one mammoth dog with a sense of humor is a most heartwarming, humorous and very entertaining novel! There's something for everyone in this lively tale of mishaps and mayhem. I highly recommend that you pick up a copy of Fetching Sweetness! It's like a breath of fresh air!
