Dinners With The Dog
Callie Jackson is used to family drama. She spent a fair amount of her childhood dining with only her dog, Hambone, while her parents "talked" behind closed doors. With the ink barely dry from her parent's divorce papers, Callie was presented with a new half-sibling, courtesy of her Father's one night stand. This event scandalized her small Indiana town so much that she still gets funny looks from grocery store clerks, even though her little sister is now eight. Now Dad has a new girlfriend, whose daughter is Callie's age and just so happens to rule the school in a dictatorship-like style. Throw her Mom's new boyfriend, a lawyer-who-enjoys-golfing, and his semi-awkward son into the mix, and Callie definitely has a full plate. Despite everything, Callie loves her family, even the members she doesn't share DNA with. But with this much history, there's bound to be secrets. And Callie has a pretty sizable one of her own: she runs one of the most popular and aptly titled blogs on the Internet, Dinners with the Dog. She ends every post with "Anonymous xx," keeping her identity secret from the world. When her Dad starts displaying some shady behavior, and the stress of keeping quiet about her blog starts getting to Callie, she must decide whether she wants to keep her family close and the secrets closer, or if she's willing to gamble with honesty and risk losing it all.Complete
