Pebble & Dove
with Amy Jones
Hosted by Steven W. Beattie
A rollicking read. . . . Jones’ fast-paced narrative presents an endearingly looney cast of characters. . . . As we bid goodbye to Jones’ vividly imagined creatures, their weirdly endearing humanity lingers in our minds long after the final page.
Writers Festival Radio is pleased to present this conversation between Steven W. Beattie and Amy Jones.
This is the story of a family falling apart, only to be brought back together again by an unlikely champion—a 1,000-pound aquatic mammal named Pebble.
Lauren’s life is a mess. She has a storage unit full of candles she can’t sell, a growing mountain of debt, and a teenage daughter, Dove, who barely speaks to her. Then her husband sends her a text that changes everything. Eager to escape her problems, she drives herself and Dove south to her late mother’s rundown trailer in Florida. While keeping her eccentric new neighbours at Swaying Palms at bay, Lauren begins to untangle the truth about her estranged mother.
