DEBUT Sara Grayson is a writer at heart, and the daughter of two writers. But after ditching her first novel, she’s stuck writing greeting cards and coupons. Her mother is Cassandra Bond, the author of the “Ellery Dawson” series, some of the most successful books and movies in the world of this novel (think
Twilight). When Cassandra dies before completing the final book in the series, Sara learns that her mother has tapped her to write the final novel. Filled with crippling self-doubt, Sara has to complete the task her mother thrust upon her. This work takes Sara from Los Angeles to New York City, to a seaside town in Maine, and even to London. It forces her to take a deep dive into her family’s past, not to mention her own psyche. Family secrets come to light that Sara and her steadfast sister Anna-Kath could not have imagined.
VERDICT Elliott’s debut novel is crafted for writers or anyone interested in writing. Each chapter begins with a quote from a famous author. Readers will enjoy following Sara as she takes on the ambitious task her late mother assigned to her. Decades-old secrets, heartfelt high emotions, and even romance lurk along the twisty path.
