Beautifully written story with delicious characters that you immediately begin to care for and want the best for them.  

Interesting story, a few twist and turns, but an ending that satisfied in every way.

What happens when you are the best at something, but discover that you no longer have a drive for it; but you find another outlet that calls you in an unexpected way, can you master it as well?  Johnny wil lhave to find out, and this is his story from start to finish.

Response from the author:

Thank you so much for this thoughtful review. It means a great deal to hear that the story and its characters resonated with you in such a meaningful way. Johnny’s journey — from mastery, to doubt, to rediscovery — is one of those rare arcs where the heart shifts before the path does, and your words capture that beautifully. I’m grateful you felt the twists, the turns, and ultimately the satisfaction of an ending that honors his growth.

Your insight into what it means to outgrow one dream and step bravely into another is exactly the heartbeat of his story. Thank you for seeing him so clearly.

Just so you know I am writing book 2!

This is the wonderful story of Johnny Day, who finds himself at a crossroads.

What happens when you are the best at something, but lose your drive. You look for something else, that comes calling.

This story has many twists and turns, fantastic characters and an ending that will leave you satisfied.

Give it a read you will not be disappointed.

Response from the author:

Thank you for saying that. It means more than you know. I didn’t expect anyone to look at my story and see the crossroads the way I felt it — that moment when you’re the best at something and suddenly the fire just… goes out. You don’t plan for that. You don’t train for it. It just happens, and you’re left standing there wondering what part of yourself you’re supposed to trust next.

I’m grateful you connected with the twists, the people in my life, and the way everything finally came together. I didn’t take any of it for granted while I was living it, and I’m glad it reads that way now.

Thanks for telling folks they won’t be disappointed. That’s a kindness I won’t forget.
