Where Does This Go

By Emanuel David Gumina

"...captured the human experience, specifically the college/young relationship experience in beautiful language."

Sean is determined to let the spectacle of study abroad in Bordeaux, France wash over him without the distraction of a relationship. This all changes when he catches the eye of a distinct British woman named Olivia.

Going through life alone was a learned behavior for Olivia. She never had luck holding friendships, a product of her unwillingness to change. When she meets Sean, her hope for connection springs anew.

Over a year earlier, Anne haphazardly joins her friend Lisa for a weekend visit to the University of Minnesota. Lisa hopes Anne will date Peter, but she falls for Peter's roommate, Sean.

It's a turning point at a young and vulnerable age for Sean, Anne, and Olivia. Circumstances beyond their control force them to embrace their desire to be loved while lugging the burdens of past trauma, failure, work, money, family, and friendship. While romance is at the heart of the story, Where Does This Go traverses multiple cities and two intertwining time periods, keeping the setting fresh for the characters and readers.
