Description

Jacqueline Sheehan made serious waves with her much beloved runaway bestseller, Lost and Found ("The best book I've read in a long time" -Susan Elizabeth Phillips). Now she treats readers to a sequel, Picture This-a story of rebirth and personal redemption that is as moving, funny, and heart-soaring as its predecessor. Whip-smart contemporary women's fiction with heart and soul, in Picture This, Rocky Pelligrino is back on Peaks Island off the coast of Maine, along with Cooper the dog, the beautiful black Labrador retriever who gave her a new "leash" on life. But this time a new wrinkle warps the fabric of her world when a young girl shows up on Rocky's doorstep claiming to be the long-lost daughter of her late husband.
