Me 'n Jess and an Irish Fisherman

by Patricia White

Overview

Jesse wasn’t the world’s worst dog and she wasn’t the world’s greatest dog: she was my best friend. She never saved my life or anyone else's for that matter, and she didn't ride a motorcycle or a surfboard, so you never saw her on TV. Jesse wasn't a well-trained service dog, or a search and rescue dog--although she could have been one for the Sunbeam bakery if one of their bread trucks was ever missing in action. She was just a dog. But Jesse was a special dog. Ask my friends. They'll tell you. She traveled throughout the United States and Canada with me: always watching the world go by with a smile on her face.

Written in 2001, the story about Jesse’s life is intertwined with the story of how this book came to be. That story is romantic and true and takes place in a small town in Ireland. It’s full of fate and luck, but this isn't a romance novel. This is real life.

Most of the popular dogs whom we know were introduced to us by men and I for one am grateful for all the wonderful dogs I have met through their stories. Thanks guys!

Perhaps it’s time to learn that dogs can be "Woman’s Best Friend too". Have fun!

About the Author

Hi there! I was born Patricia A. White in New Market, Ontario, Canada and moved to Chicago at the age of 6. My name was changed to DiVita to protect the innocent. No, not really. I was adopted. I grew up in Illinois, attended the U of I and graduated with a degree in Industrial/Organizational Psychology which I used for a little while, but it wasn't near as much fun and entertaining as working in restaurants--which I loved. I did a variety of other jobs too, including Financial Planning, ranch work, had a photography business, did videography and construction. I've lived in 6 states and 4 countries and love to travel and experience different cultures, ride horses and motorcycles (especially in the mountains), and I'm very involved in water awareness and conservation.

I wrote "Me 'n Jess" in 2001 while living in Ireland (the reason I used my Irish birth name), and was in the process of publishing it when an idea for a restaurant movie took over. "Did I Say Thousand Island?" was premiered in 2007 and has been well received in over 185 countries. I intend to have the movie remade and be used as a benefit movie to raise awareness and funds for the Global Water Crisis (remake4water.org). And the book? I had it published in 2010 for family and a few friends, but now have published it and hope you like it! I'm going to donate 10% of the proceeds--in all formats, to water organizations that help people get water. Thanks for helping, and please spread the word!
