Catching Gracie is the story about the trials, fears, and disappointments the Bakers had as they searched for their small black-and-tan dachshund, Gracie. The very first day at her new home, Gracie escaped from her kennel into a strange new world to her. She trusted no one. Afraid and bewildered, Gracie ran fast into the woods where coyotes roam. Other wild animals larger than Gracie also lived there. This was a very dangerous place for a small dachshund.

Grace, much like every first child, has big dreams to be the beacon of light in her family—she wants to save her mother from the miseries of years of a troubled marriage and set the right example for her siblings, where her father has failed. But, like that of every big dreamer, her path is roughened by betrayals, neglect, lies and escapades that push her farther away from her dreams.

And when she runs into a young man from her past, she realizes a choice must be made: continue with her life as it is, or retrace her steps back to where she had abandoned her dreams.

Dear Reader: I started this as a short story and for some reason thought it would be fun writing a love story in it as well so I ended up with this Novel. I personally do not use long words and never will but some people love them. I think mostly for I can’t spell them or pronounce them. I like things simple and if you like to use long words I hope you are not talking to me. This was a fun story to write and I hope you enjoy reading it. William
