Nineteen-year-old Bethany Monroe has just lost her mother, the only family she’s ever known. While sorting through her belongings, she discovers an old journal naming you as her father. After spending much of her remaining money tracking you down, the sweet but slightly goth young woman arrives on your doorstep with a suitcase, a journal, and a fragile hope of finding family.

There’s just one problem: You knew her mother years ago, but you were never romantically or sexually involved. You can’t possibly be Bethany’s father.

So why did her mother write that you were? And what happens to Bethany now that she’s traveled so far, with nowhere in particular to go and no real plan for what comes next?
