A Dolphin For One

In this YA novel, Kaileigh, who becomes orphaned during her teen years, bounces around state-funded foster care before she is finally placed with a couple who care about her well-being. Driven to never become anyone's obligation and to stand on her own, the teen aces her high school years and takes on a few night classes in music theory at the local college.

She spends her time being alone and organized: two features of her personality that suit her just fine.

With the learned trade of writing to fund a small but steady cash flow, Kaileigh buys a used Dolphin motor home from the lady down the street and hits the road once the state recognizes her eighteenth year milestone.

Through a series of adventures and mishaps, the young lady finds herself tapping at her laptop in the booth of an Italian restaurant and winds up getting more than a story and a plate of rigatoni when she meets the owner of the restaurant, who introduces Kaileigh to her pop star brother.

Unexpectedly, Kaileigh finds herself being not quite as alone as she had become accustomed.
