Synopsis (Goodreads):

Can the love of a lifetime be forever changed by one pink line? Dina Silver’s tender, absorbing novel, One Pink Line, is the warmhearted, wry story of love, loss and family, as seen through the prism of one singular, spirited young couple who find themselves in a predicament that changes the course of their lives, and those closest to them. With heart, humor and compassion, this debut work of women’s fiction is certain to stir anyone who relishes a good laugh, can stand a good cry, and, above all believes in the redemptive power of love.

This unique, contemporary story gives readers a dual perspective. Sydney Shephard, a sweet-tempered, strong-natured college senior is young, in love with an exceptional man, and unexpectedly pregnant. Faced with a child she never planned for, she is forced to relay this news to her neurotic mother, relinquish her youth, and risk losing the love of her life. Then there’s Grace, a daughter, who believed she was a product of this great love, grows to realize her existence is not what she assumed, and is left with profound and puzzling questions about who she really is.

Spanning generations and every imaginable emotion, One Pink Line reveals how two points of view can be dramatically at odds, and perhaps ultimately reconciled. Simultaneously deeply felt and lighthearted, One Pink Line deftly mines how the choices we make are able to alter so many lives, and how doing the right thing and living honestly can bring unexpected, hard-won happiness. It’s a must-read for anyone who relishes a great love story, absorbing characters, and plenty of laughs along the way.

My Review:

One Pink Line is awesome, to say the least.  I whipped right through it, enjoying every page.  The three main characters have a remarkable bond that melts your heart.  They were simply made for each other, and it's beautiful to read about.  Dina also throws in a bit of humor, which compliments the story nicely.

The story is told from the perspective of two separate women, whose stories are intertwined perfectly.  Consistent with my no-spoilers policy here at Lost in Literature, I have to be vague about many aspects of this book that I wish I could delve right into and be quite descriptive about, as I loved them so much.  But without revealing too much, this book was amazing... and the last page gave me goosebumps.  :)
