Full Description for Ingram
The Girl in the '67 Beetle
A new novel by Linda Lenhoff, author of Life
a la Mode and Latte Lessons.
The art director of Kids Press, Amy Shepherd has been assigned to reinvent the
story of Goldilocks, and she finds her own life reflecting a similar tale. Will
she fall for a man who's a little too old (but exciting), a man who's a little
too young (but awfully exciting looking), or a man who's just right, at least
as far as her friends are concerned? Or will she bring Goldilocks' story-and
her own-up to date with a little help from high-technology and the Goldilocks
Planet theory? Amy will have to decide how her own tale will end, all the while
driving her beloved powder blue convertible through the streets of Santa
Monica, where she has become known as the Girl in the '67 Beetle, the only
thing in her life that, so far at least, feels just right.
Coming Sept. 26, 2021, in ebook and
paperback from Laurel Canyon Press.
