Dotted Lines

Definitions of “family” can vary for just about everyone, and in author Stephanie Cesca’s debut novel DOTTED LINES, a young woman’s scattered childhood turns into something golden—but not without a bit of drama along the way. Clear, engaging writing introduces readers to Melanie Forsythe, as she and her younger sister are abandoned by their mother but raised by the mom’s boyfriend. With varying emotions, Melanie learns what “real family” means.
