Fishing! - Sarah Stonich

Descriere Fishing! - Sarah Stonich

\n \nA hilarious saga of fishing, family, and three generations of tough, independent women--the first in a trilogy \n \n Having fled the testosterone-soaked world of professional sport fishing, thirty-something RayAnne Dahl is navigating a new job as a consultant for the first all-women talk show about fishing on public television (or, as one viewer's husband puts it, Oprah in a boat). After the host bails, RayAnne lands in front of the camera and out of her depth at the helm of the show. Is she up for the challenge? Meanwhile, her family proves as high-maintenance as her fixer-upper house and her clingy rescue dog. Her dad, star of the one-season Big Rick's Bass Bonanza, is on his sixth wife and falling off the wagon and into RayAnne's career path; her mother, a new-age aging coach for the menopausal rich, provides endless unwanted advice; and her beloved grandmother Dot--whose advice RayAnne needs--is far away and far from well. \n \nBut as RayAnne says, I'm a woman, I fish. Deal with it. And just when things seem to be coming together--the show is an unlikely hit; she receives the admiration of a handsome sponsor (out of bounds as he is, but definitely in the wings); ungainly house and dog are finally in hand--RayAnne's world suddenly threatens to capsize, and she's faced with a gut-wrenching situation and a heartbreaking decision. \n \nFirst published in 2015 under a pseudonym, this first installment in a trilogy filled with hilarity and heartbreak unspools with the gentle wit and irresistible charm that readers of Sarah Stonich have come to expect. Fishing eases us into unsuspected depths as it approaches the essential question . . . when should life be steered by the heart, not the rules? \n
