Earnest

Earnest

â€œVon Kreisler takes us deeper into the powerful connections between humans and animals.â€--Jacqueline Sheehan
Â
From the bestselling author ofÂ An Unexpected GraceÂ comes a richly insightful novel of matters of the heartâ€”both human and canineâ€”in an uplifting story of love, loyalty, and new beginningsâ€¦

Earnest. Itâ€™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 Seattleâ€™s Best Friends Shelter. In no time at all, theyâ€™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 islandâ€™s main street. Anna hopes to buy and restore the house, once owned by her beloved grandmother. But when that dream is threatened by Jeffâ€™s actions, Annaâ€™s trust is shattered. For so long, the house has encompassed all her ideals of security, home, and family. Yet Earnestâ€™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, itâ€™s Earnestâ€”honest, stubborn, and uncannily wiseâ€”who will help Anna reconcile her past and embrace what the future can bringâ€¦
