THE SWEETEST HOURS is a heartwarming, life affirming,
laugh-out-loud funny meditation on the many different ways
we live and love. Starting with the clever and
hilarious “Gus Hunts for a Job,” where love for a
meaningful life takes center stage, to “Second Nature,” in
which the smart but not stunning girl falls for the hunky
lifeguard and sets herself the task of becoming a modern
day Scheherazade to romance him, and finally, “This Santa’s
For Hire,” where love means keeping alive a dream, Pedersen
takes the reader on a compelling journey through a variety
of original and delightfully unpredictable relationships.
Whether the pairing involves a woman and her Alaskan mail-
order groom, a guy and his dolphin, or a girl and her
mission to save the world, you’ll laugh, you’ll think,
you’ll pour a drink.
