Layabout Larry Johnstone's life mission to find the perfect spouse began in his early teens. After dating (and being dumped) by nearly a hundred women, he finally meets and proposes to his dream girl, Heather-a successful advertising executive from Vancouver.

A shocking truth about Larry surfaces during his bachelor party, thwarting his plans for a traditional wedding. Determined to complete his quest, he abandons his Ottawa life and flies to his "Schnookums" on the West Coast-only to discover his mission might not come to fruition as expected, thanks to a charismatic Scandinavian with ice blue eyes and a portable meatball oven.

Needing guidance, Larry stumbles into a non-conventional church, where a seagull-cawing woman reveals a prophecy: Larry will father a nation and be married to the voice of a generation. With the help of Peter, a hippie who "spreads the love" in the streets, and newfound friends at the Hospice of Good Hope, Larry is driven to seek the answer to the question: "How the hell will this prophecy be fulfilled?"

Dissatisfied Me: West Coast Larry is a spin-off from Bruce D. Gordon's first novel, Dissatisfied Me: A Love Story.
