    About this audiobook

    From bestselling author Jackie Bouchard comes a heartwarming story of loss, love, and finding hope in unexpected places.

    If you lost both your husband and your dog within weeks of each other but were more devastated by the loss of the dog, would you tell anyone? Maybe your closest friends…Unfortunately, introvert Jane Bailey hasn’t made many friends in Philadelphia.

    So when her aunt and uncle ask her to come to Prescott, Arizona, to help at their B&B, Jane packs up and makes the move. On her way, she finds a scared stray at a rest stop. But Jane can’t bear the thought of ever loving and losing another dog. She’s determined not to let the mutt steal her heart. She’s also determined to have next to no interaction with the B&B’s demanding guests and its annoying (yet handsome) handyman. As the dog works her charm, soon Jane must admit that just as much as she rescued the dog, the dog has rescued her.

    Revised edition: This edition of Rescue Me, Maybe includes editorial revisions.

      Jane is having a tough time. In a few short weeks, she has lost her husband and dog to cancer, and she feels guilty because she misses her dog more than her husband. Just before his cancer diagnosis, Jane was ready to ask her husband for a divorce, after years of unsuccessful attempt to rekindle the early days of their marriage. Once Ryan received the diagnosis, Jane could hardly desert him, so she stayed on to nurse him and support him through his unsuccessful battle with cancer. Her beagle had been with her for years, and his diagnosis was far more unsettling for Jane. Now, after all this is past, Jane is planning to move back to her former home, San Diego. Then, her mother volunteers her to stop enroute to San Diego in Prescott, AZ to take over her mother’s sister’s B&B while her sister and her husband take a cross country trip for surgery for Jane’s Aunt. Jane has misgivings at first, but figures she can stop, stay at the inn and look for a new job in San Diego during the time her aunt and uncle are away. At a rest stop close to the B&B, Jane picks up a stray, obviously abandoned, dog. When the dog is not adopted from the shelter where they put her, Jane’s aunt and uncle adopt the dog and leave Maybe with Jane while they are away.This is a fantastic dog story, a story showing how one dog can really make a big difference in one’s life. Maybe quickly and easily worms her way into Jane’s and everyone else’s hearts. The story is really her story. I do not want to go into too many specifics, but Maybe ends up undergoing some of the same treatments Jane’s earlier dog did, for the same reasons and emerges like a real trooper. In addition to Jane and Maybe, the story is filled with other endearing characters: Selene, who works at the B&B and who has some interesting secrets/dreams that come to light, Kai, their friendly next-door neighbor fix-it man who likewise has secrets of his own, Jane’s mother, who means well but drives Jane crazy with her hoovering, Jane’s in-laws, who each have attitudes and/or characteristics that would either endear or drive one to insanity, and the quirky guests, who stay at the inn and who make for interesting and sometimes humorous interludes in the story. The book definitely shows just what adopting a stray and letting him/her work his/her way into your life and hear can do. Maybe was and is the perfect dog, gorgeous, resilient, loyal, loving, accepting of all things and anyone, etc. I quickly fell for her as the book progressed, for Maybe is the one character who manages to bring Jane out of her funk after the two deaths, manages to smooth over and bridge any gaps/problems between Jane and her in-laws, manages to show everyone that all it takes is love, loyalty, devotion and easy acceptance of life. I cannot give this book more than five stars, but I would if I could. I have not read anything else by the author but will after reading this one. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves dogs or a real, fee-good story. Maybe will worm her way into your heart, as she did with me. I received this from NetGalley to read and review.
