Her Own Direction

By Tom Davies

Mae Wallace has always been good at finishing things. At eighteen, she is already most of the way through a business degree-and increasingly unsure that the future everyone expects her to want is actually hers.

Then a fall on a quiet country road brings Dean Lockwood into her life.

Dean is hardworking, thoughtful, and rooted in a world of farmland, old trucks, family responsibility, and the furniture he dreams of building with his own hands. He isn't impressed by Mae's family name or interested in telling her who she should become. He simply sees her.

What begins with a roadside rescue and a thank-you dinner grows into something neither of them expected. But as their lives become intertwined, Mae must confront her family's expectations, discover what she truly wants from work and love, and learn that choosing her own direction means more than simply choosing a different path.

Set against the farms and communities outside Cleveland, HER OWN DIRECTION is a warm, character-driven contemporary romance about ambition, family, first independence, meaningful work, and two young people learning how to build a life without losing themselves inside it.
