" Earnest. It s the perfect name for a sweet, eager-to-please yellow Labrador retriever. Anna and her boyfriend Jeff fall for him the minute they see those guileless eyes gazing up from behind his gate at Seattle s Best Friends Shelter. In no time at all, they re a pack of three, with Earnest happily romping in their condo on Gamble Island.
During the day, Earnest keeps Anna company in her flower shop, located in a historic gingerbread Victorian on the island s main street. Anna hopes to buy and restore the house, once owned by her beloved grandmother. But when that dream is threatened by Jeff s actions, Anna s trust is shattered. For so long, the house has encompassed all her ideals of security, home, and family. Yet Earnest s devotion to his two people, and theirs to him, make it impossible for them to walk away from each other. And when a crisis hits, it s Earnest honest, stubborn, and uncannily wise who will help Anna reconcile her past and embrace what the future can bring
