The Equity: A Story of The Great Resignation

By James Harvest

For anyone who has ever stared at a spreadsheet and felt their soul quietly dying...

Meet Maya Sharma. On paper, she's a success story: a prestigious degree, a coveted corporate job, a sleek apartment. But each day spent parsing data and pandering to a tone-deaf boss is another layer of dust settling on her spirit. She's running on a treadmill of someone else's design, haunted by a "phantom itch" for a life she can't define, and shackled by a mountain of student debt that makes escape seem impossible.

Until the day she stops running.

The Equity is a breathtakingly authentic novel for our time. It's the story of one woman's daring leap from the soul-crushing grind of corporate America into the terrifying, exhilarating void of building a life from scratch. This isn't a fairy tale about quitting your job and finding instant enlightenment. It's a raw, gripping, and profoundly relatable journey into the real-world stakes of the Great Resignation.

Follow Maya as she trades PowerPoints for power tools, navigating the brutal realities of the gig economy, a hostile housing market, and the well-meaning doubt of those who love her. She will discover that the freedom she craves comes with a different kind of grind-one where she is the CEO, the janitor, and everything in between. But with every piece of furniture she crafts from reclaimed wood, she is also rebuilding herself, piece by piece.

This is more than a story about quitting a job. It's about reclaiming your time, your passion, and your life.

Perfect for fans of relatable, character-driven fiction that explores modern anxieties, The Equity is a powerful reminder that the greatest risk is not failing, but never trying. It's a triumphant exploration of what happens when we stop chasing a predefined version of success and start building a life of purpose, one meaningful piece at a time.

If you've ever wondered what's on the other side of fear, this is the story you need to read.
