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.

From the Back Cover

Peaks Island, Maine, vibrates with its own special magic. The people, the animals, and even the houses have a charm and personality all their own. Just ask Rocky Pelligrino. Devastated by her husband Bob's death, she found hope thanks to a loyal black Lab named Cooper. Warm friends and a new job have helped Rocky chart a new course. She's even ready to try love again with Hill, the gentle and patient archery instructor.

But a phone call from a troubled young woman looking for her biological father shakes Rocky's newfound joy. Could this young girl hold a tendril of the man who was the love of her life? Or could the girl throw Rocky's world into chaos . . . and shatter her heart again?
