Crossing in One Piece: A Corporate Wake-Up Story about Bridges, Cape Codders, and Not Vanishing in an Open-Plan Office

By Colleen Hoskins

Caroline "Cary" Valente has done everything right: low error rates, immaculate decks, carefully calibrated tone. She's the dependable one in the open-plan office; the "perfectly useful ghost" who keeps the machine running while louder people get the promotions, the credit, and the corner offices.

But the night she grabs a wedding mic and torches her "steady" career, she has to decide whether to keep cleaning up the numbers, or finally cross the bridge to a life where she counts, too.

Set in the fluorescent glare of corporate life, Crossing in One Piece is corporate women's fiction with bite: an office satire about burnout recovery, midlife career change, imposter syndrome, and what happens when a woman decides that being "too much" is exactly enough.
