About the Book: On the shores of Lake Michigan, Rebecca Meyer seeks escape. Guilt-ridden over her little sister’s death, she sets her heart on India, a symbol of peace.
Across the ocean in South India, Sagai Raj leaves his tranquil hill station home and impoverished family to answer a higher calling. Pushing through diverse cultural and religious milieus, he labors toward his goals, while wrong turns and bad choices block Rebecca from hers.
Traveling similar paths and bridged across oceans through a priest, the two desire peace and their divine destiny. But vows and blind obedience at all costs must be weighed…and buried memories, unearthed.
Crooked Lines, a beautifully crafted debut novel, threads the lives of two determined souls from different continents and cultures. Compelling characters struggle with spirituality through despair and deceptions in search of truth.

LINES BOOK REVIEW by L Shoshanna Rhodes
Crooked
Lines is a well written novel about two very lonely people who faced
tremendous personal adversity, but walked through it all to become who God
wanted them to be. It will expand your cultural horizons as you realize that no
matter how different each of our backgrounds are, we all face similar
challenges that can be overcome with God’s help.

*****************************************************
Crooked Lines was born from hearing stories from my husband and his friends who left home in the 1970s, at age 13 and 14, to join a strict religious order in India. The stories were amazing. They met Mother Teresa, worked in the slums, were sent into untouchable villages and leper colonies. They were tried and tested in many difficult situations. Then, I paralleled a story on an American teenage girl from Wisconsin, with her heart set on getting to India. Though the characters live in completely different cultures, the chapters are themed emotionally. Sagai is the young seminarian and his mentor, Father Michael, comes to America and meets Rebecca whom he mentors through letters from India.
