In the Margins

**Some stories are written in ink. Others are written on the heart.**

Journalism professor Josie Buncar thought she had left the hardest chapters of her life behind. But when devastating news threatens the future she has built, memories she has spent years trying to outrun come rushing back.

Twelve years earlier, sophomore year at Callaway University was supposed to begin with a reunion. Instead, a chance encounter with a quiet freshman named Beth Daniels changes everything.

Beth has spent her life learning not to trust, not to hope, and never to believe that anyone stays. Josie is captivated by the mysterious woman across the hall, even as she finds herself drawn into another relationship that is impossible to resist. As friendships deepen, loyalties are tested, and hearts begin to blur the lines between obsession and love, Josie must decide who she wants to become-and what she's willing to sacrifice to get there.

Spanning two timelines, *In the Margins* is a poignant story of first love, found family, healing, and the extraordinary courage it takes to rewrite the story you've been telling yourself. Sometimes the most important words aren't the ones written in the margins-they're the ones that finally set you free.
