BLURB: 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
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: Written from different perspectives, One Pink Line is
filled with drama, well crafted characters that are easily to re
late to, and fast paced. Dina Silver has created a powerful and
poignant story that is sure to touch the readers in a strong way.
It focuses on various relationships, and how they are affected
by a dramatic change in one's life. Sidney is young and faces
quite a challenge. It's sometimes confusing going from one
point of view to another, so readers will have to pay close
attention. There's a few things that weren't fully explained, but
overall the story grabbed me, kept my attention and was a very
moving read.

Interestingly enough, one of my biggest weaknesses is actually the thing that helps me stay motivated. Simply put, I have no patience. In the same regard, I’ve never been a huge procrastinator. So when it comes to writing, I find that I’m almost too eager to get to the end. If I have the story in my head, I tend to write a lot all at once, and then go through and edit. Sometimes I need to purge the ideas onto paper (well, cyber paper) before I can relax and begin to piece things together.
I’d also like to attribute one of my favorite clichés to the motivation mix. Follow your dream. Ah, yes…dare to dream. The reason I love this saying is because I’m always telling to people to do so with one caveat. That is, when people tell you to follow your dream and never give up, they don’t simply mean that you should keep hoping and wishing for your dreams to come true. Nope (sorry Oprah and The Secret). When people who have been rewarded success tell you to follow your dream, what they really mean is: don’t stop working your butt off until you get what you want.
Getting what you want in life can be enough of a motivator of you let it. Because once you start inching closer to your goals and believing that they truly might be attainable, there will be no stopping you!
Now if I only had the motivation to finish this post! J
Until next time,
