Finding Dad
Meeting “the one” and trying to start a family sends Bridget Olson on a search for the father she’s never met.
Bridget finally has a boyfriend she can count on, and she’s ready to build a life with Leo. But first there’s the not-so-simple matter of her father, who owes Bridget some answers: Why did he abandon her pregnant mother? Has he ever wondered about his daughter? Does he regret being absent from her life for thirty-plus years?
On the hunt for information about her dad, Bridget devises a scheme that could unintentionally destroy any chance of a relationship with the woman she believes is her sister. And keeping her questionable actions secret from Leo places their future at risk.
To heal old wounds, Bridget puts everything on the line, including her hard-earned sobriety. As her obsession grows, Bridget's plot starts to unravel. Can she fill the void she's felt since childhood without losing Leo? Or will Bridget go too far?
Finding Dad is a fast-paced novel for fans of complicated main characters, family drama, a healthy dose of romance, loyal besties, and unexpected twists.

—Jamie
"There were so many interesting themes and little surprises and twists. Even though the issues addressed in it are pretty heavy, it's fast-paced and kind of lighthearted. I loved how Bridget's BFFs checked her when she needed checking but also were down to help with her crazy antics."

"Finding Dad is one of those books that pulls you in quietly and then refuses to let go. I read it in just a few days because I genuinely wanted to know where Bridget's journey would take her. The story unfolds into a layered search for identity, belonging, and sobriety. What struck me most was how real Bridget felt and by the last page, I felt like I knew her, like she could be a friend of mine. A great summer read, engaging from start to finish."

"The pacing and the twists and turns helped me stay interested, like I was a fly on the wall wondering, 'how's this going to pan out?' It got to the point where I was invested in knowing what's going to happen next. I also liked how details were thread together, like no anecdote or scene was superfluous."
