This is the story of Stephen, a freshman at a small Catholic college. He falls head over heels for Isabella when he hears her play a stringed instrument; unfortunately they have a little misunderstanding (well, more than one misunderstanding, really) and things seem hopeless till he enlists the aid of a sympathetic monk. But just when things are looking up, Stephen's dangerously unpolished love poem is stolen by the devious lacrosse star Earl, who can see blackmail when it's sitting on the doorstep. Retrieving the sonnet and trying to get the girl lead Stephen into a series of misadventures involving a jello egg, two porcelain piglets and the Dean of Students. "In a sea of dark and disturbing literature so akin to our culture, it's refreshing to come across stories like Paradise on the Hoof. This novel is entertaining but tasteful; humorous, yet not rude or cynical, and it leaves one with the sense that life, though exasperating at times, is still very good." Renee Riva, author of Saving Sailor"This book really drew me in. I loved the dual plots and great dialogue. Very humorous " Cathy Turney, award winning author
