Welcome to Gospel, Idaho, where everyone knows that there
are two universal truths. First, God did His best work when
He created the Sawtooth Wilderness Area. Second, every sin
known to heaven and earth—from the hole in the ozone to
alien abductions—is all California's fault.
This is the story of what happened when a Californian came
to visit . . .
Hope Spencer knows wacky: as a writer for The Weekly News of
the Universe she's "spotted" Bigfoot, Elvis, and the face of
Jesus on a tortilla. Arriving in Gospel hoping for some
peace and quiet and normal . . . she quickly figures out
that there's nothing normal going on in Gospel. From the
Barnes sisters with their color-coordinated hair, to the
toilet-tossing sportsmen . . . to the murder victim whose
body had been found in her house years before, the Gospel
truth really is stranger than fiction—even tabloid fiction.
Hell, she should have stayed in L.A.
And then there's local sheriff Dylan Taber. He's no made-up
character from one of her stories. She could never create
anything that good. Dylan's all too real . . . and soon Hope
is forced to face the awful truth—she's been too long
without a man. But once she gets wind of a Hollywood actress
somehow mixed up in Dylan's life, Hope realizes that if they
are to have any chance together, he has some true confessing
to do.
