Is it ever too late to begin?
Lizzie Baker has always played it safe, working shifts at the local diner, listening to the stories of her beloved Grandma who lived next door, and convincing herself that her dreams were simply too big for a girl from a small town. Her parents' rules have always kept her grounded, sometimes too grounded.
But everything changes the night Lizzie runs away with Grandma after a heated argument at home. What begins as a desperate escape becomes a journey of discovery, uncovering long-buried family truths, quiet rebellion, and a grandmother's hidden past.
As Lizzie and Grandma grow closer, Lizzie begins to see how their lives have mirrored one another more than she ever knew.
Then, on Lizzie's birthday, a handmade gift from her lifelong best friend rekindles a long-lost dream and sets her on a new path. It is a path shaped by sacrifice, second chances, and the quiet courage to follow her heart.
Inspired by true events, Reason To Be is a heartfelt story of generational bonds, friendship, first love, and the beauty of becoming who you were always meant to be. A nostalgic, soul-stirring novel you won't want to put down.
A heartfelt story you won't want to put down.
