RayAnneā€™s next adventure takes our intrepid heroine, haunted by her beloved grandmotherā€™s death, to New Zealand to film a new season of her all-women fishing talk show

What stage of grief is it when your grandmotherā€™s ghost keeps popping up on your electronic devices? Denial? For RayAnne that seems to be the stage for launching the second season of Fishing!ā€”in New Zealand. Ready or not, she is taking public televisionā€™s first all-women fishing talk show on the road, putting the cold Minnesota winter in the rearview mirrorā€”which, it turns out, Gran is haunting, too.

After a challenging first season, and RayAnneā€™s serendipitous ascension to host, thereā€™s a lot at stake. With camera-wielding twins Rongo and Rangi along as crew and tour guides, RayAnne and her indefatigable producer Cassi set out across New Zealand in search of noteworthy women who fish: a skipjack boat captain navigating sexist harbors; a writer of historical suffragette fiction, which is, apparently, a thing; a reclusive Māori octogenarian who ties fishing flies for dignitaries. Their stories, and a good dose of the countryā€™s history, are almost enough to take the edge off RayAnneā€™s homesickness and grief, to say nothing of jetlagā€”and it doesnā€™t hurt to discover a bird dog who fishes, an anti-fashionista, a pair of sisters fishing their way through recovery, and . . . a Hobbit? Meanwhile, the romantic and family entanglements she left behind at home havenā€™t exactly come untangled in her absence.

Those who met RayAnne in Fishing!, Sarah Stonichā€™s first outing with the intrepid, accidental talk-show host, will encounter familiar and unexpected pleasures in her latest anticsā€”and a story whose lighthearted surface and surprising depths will charm readers who now find her for the first time.
