Much beloved and fan favorite Dot Baverstock is back in this fourth installment of The Em Suite—but not in a way you'd ever expect.

Dot and her son Waverly have a deep, dark secret they've been keeping for years. When Dot suffers a traumatic fall, they make a difficult and daring decision to expose themselves to their extended family.

Waverly has orders to report for Air National Guard duty which would leave Dot, seriously injured, on her own or in the care of strangers. Em and Eve, with their son Liam, rush out to the Palm Springs desert to the rescue. Along for the ride is Prairie Fire Vaughn.

But, there's something else...

Dot and Waverly's secret is the "Big Mystery," and the true reason the family is needed and is revealed soon after their arrival. It appears far more will be needed from them than expected, while also putting them in peril. There's no question. They love Dot. They'll do anything for her—even if it means breaking the law or risking their lives.

Love, tragedy, humor, heartbreak; adventure, mystery, and danger all deliciously intertwine in this fun, yet heart-tugging installment of The Em Suite. Though Dot in the Weeds is part of a series, it is also a story that firmly stands on its own.
