Synopsis

She’s running...but from what? Roxanne Clarke is about to enter her freshman year of college, where she will join her despised twin sister, Regan, as well as her best friend, Tyler. While the reality of moving away from home and playing collegiate soccer consumes her thoughts, she is also plagued by the presence of Luke, a boy she meets during the summer, that continues to show up everywhere she goes. Unsure of his intent, Roxanne cautiously enters into a friendship with him that eventually turns into love, despite her will to ward off all males since the death of her father. Unbeknownst to her, Luke’s sole purpose on earth is to protect Roxanne. As her guardian angel, he manages to betray his instructions by falling in love with her. Now he must decide how the story will end. A unique and captivating novel told from multiple perspectives, Stages is a story about the interwoven lives of teenagers transitioning into adulthood, where actions can have devastating consequences, love isn’t always enough, and suffering eventually leads to happiness. With equal parts romance, mystery, and supernatural, this novel portrays the timeline of grieving – from denial to acceptance – and the precarious road in between.

About this title

About the Author:

Originally from Southern California, Kalyn Dhroso moved to Mid-Missouri in 2000, where she has resided since then. Creating many fictitious stories about celebrities while growing up, Kalyn has always enjoyed writing. Her creative writing slowed during her high school years, where she focused on schoolwork and sports. Her interest in writing peaked again while she was a graduate student in physical therapy school at the University of Missouri-Columbia. While going for a jog on a local trail, Kalyn imagined a girl doing the same - and eventually meeting a stranger that would change her life forever. Thus, Stages was born. She finished and manipulated the novel several (x 1,000) times throughout her education. Due to the pursuit of becoming a physician assistant and the extra schooling that required, Kalyn put the novel on the back burner. After graduating with her second Masters degree, she finally decided to pursue publishing. Kalyn resides in Columbia, Missouri with her husband and two dogs. She continues to work on her next fictional projects.
