Denise Cline will visit City Lights on Saturday, November 8th at 3:00pm to share her debut novel, The Resettlement of Vesta Blonik.
Set during the Great Depression, The Resettlement of Vesta Blonik is the story of two strong-hearted strangers, bent but not destroyed by grief and financial destitution. Vesta Blonik, an unmarried farm woman from Minnesota and Gordon Crenshaw, confined to a North Carolina mental institution after the death of his wife and child, meet through misleading letters written by Gordon’s family members. But reality doesn’t look at all like what was promised, and when they learn the truth, the two must find a path forward, together or apart.
Denise Cline is an upstate South Carolina native and practicing attorney in Raleigh, North Carolina. Denise’ s fiction and non-fiction has won awards from Carolina Woman, Salem College’ s 2014 International Literary Contest, and the 23rd Annual Carteret Writers’ Contest. It has appeared in Prime Number, Carolina Woman, The Shoal, the Raleigh News & Observer and Mamalode.
