“Small towns have big stories.”
That was a lesson Katie’s father taught her years ago. A lesson
she’s taken to heart. And right now, Katie is desperate for a big story.


Reeling from the recent loss of her father and with her agent
breathing down her neck for the next book, the twenty-one-year-old
writer picks a spot on the map and finds herself bound for a
middle-of-nowhere town called Bishopville, South Carolina.

Taking a chance on the words of a local grocer, Katie stumbles upon a
rare breed of dogs raised by the town doctor and his nephew Kyle. The
only problem? Kyle isn’t interested in telling stories—especially not to
a big-city girl who can’t seem to sit still. In an attempt to win him
over as the clock winds down, Katie finds herself immersed in Kyle’s
world, doing everything but writing.

When inspiration finally strikes, Katie is faced with an unforeseen
catastrophe and a truth she can no longer ignore. While she has come to
love the dogs, the real story may be about Kyle Walker.
