At forty-two, Calla Bliss has spent years putting everyone else's life ahead of her own. A divorced mother, seamstress, and caregiver, she has quietly set aside the writing she once loved, convinced that some dreams are now out of her reach.
Then, on the first night of a South American cruise, a chance act of kindness introduces her to acclaimed author Frances M. Boyd-and to Frances's reserved British nephew, Robert.
What begins as a brief encounter soon draws Calla into Frances's intimate circle of writers. An exchange of handwritten letters between Calla and Robert deepens from literary critique to the quieter truths neither of them has ever said aloud.
Back home in Vermont, while sorting through her grandfather's library, Calla begins questioning not only the life she has inherited, but the one she still has time to create.
An Underlined Poem is a quietly hopeful novel about writing, handwritten letters, unexpected love, and the courage to begin again.
