dirt road

By: Shari Beeson

Some roads take you home. Some take everything.

In Hollow Ridge, Missouri, everyone knows your name. Friday night lights. Dirt roads. Tight families. And the kind of love that feels like it will last forever.

Chloe Dawson had her whole life mapped out-good grades, cheer captain, the perfect boyfriend. Logan Hayes was the heart of the Hollow Ridge Bears. Quarterback. Best friend. Her everything. He had big dreams and a ticket to Kansas. They just never finished talking about it.

After the first game of the season, on a quiet dirt road, everything changes.

Logan wasn't wearing his seatbelt.

Chloe was.

He died. She survived. She was there.

Now every hallway, every Friday night, every memory has his number on it. Grief follows her like tire tracks she can't outrun. Friends don't know what to say. Adults whisper. The town watches. And Chloe is left trying to figure out who she is without the boy she thought she'd spend forever with.

Set against the backdrop of small-town football, heartbreak, and the fragile hope of starting over, dirt road is a raw, emotional coming-of-age story about first love, loss, and the long road back to yourself.

Perfect for readers who love emotional YA, small-town settings, and stories that stay with you long after the last page.
