Non-Fiction Memoir
Stepdog is the hilarious and heartwarming tale of a woman
who has finally met the man of her dreams—and the dog of her
nightmares. Lots of dogs eat shoes, bite people, destroy furniture . . .
but Eddie tried to destroy a marriage. After more than three decades of happy single womanhood, Mia
Navarro wasn’t really looking to change her relationship
status. The idea of being a step-anything to anyone was
foreign to her, something she never thought about. . . .
Until she fell in love with Jim and agreed to marry him. As
it turns out, the marriage is pretty wonderful, the stepkids
were, well, typical pre-teens, the weather in Los Angeles
perfect. But life is not spotless. The spots belong to Jim’s mutt, Eddie. Possessive and
jealous, Eddie behaves like Jim’s mistress—if a mistress
could bark and compete for space on his beloved’s lap. As
time goes on, a full-on war ensues. Mia slams the door in
Eddie’s face, cordons off the house into dog- and
wife-territories, and leaves the back door open . . . by,
er, accident, of course. She even tries to leave Eddie
behind in California when she and Jim abruptly relocate to
New York. But in the end, it’s clear that not even a wife
can come between man and dog. As Eddie ages, Mia softens,
and as with any new family struggling to blend, the two must
make peace with each other. Ultimately, Stepdog is a
triumphant story about finding love at an unexpected stage
in life and the many unforeseen obstacles—not only of the
four-legged variety—that can get in the way on the road to
happily ever after.
