Welcome to the plot line archive

...where fictional moments shine a light on real life.

In my monthly newsletter, The Plot Line, I take a single line from a novel and follow where it leads—to insight, laughter, recognition, or that quiet “me too” moment that reminds us we’re not alone in what we feel.

Fiction doesn’t tell us how to live—it shows us lives in motion. Messy, beautiful, complicated lives that help us better understand our own. Think of The Plot Line as a bookish coffee date where stories become conversation starters and reminders that our struggles and joys are deeply shared.
