Reason To Be: Adventures of Improbable Runaways - Paperback

by Melissa Davis (Author)

Is it ever too late to begin again?

Lizzie Baker has always played it safe. Working long shifts at the local diner, listening to the cherished stories from her grandmother, and convincing herself her dreams are too big for a small-town girl, Lizzie has learned to live quietly. Her parents' rules have kept her grounded-sometimes too grounded.

But one night, after a heated argument at home, Lizzie makes a daring choice: she runs away with her grandmother. What begins as a desperate escape unfolds into an unforgettable journey of discovery-of hidden family truths, quiet rebellions, and a grandmother's secret past.

As the miles pass and their bond deepens, Lizzie realizes how closely her own struggles mirror her grandmother's. Inspired by true events, Reason To Be is a nostalgic and soul-stirring novel about coming of age in a small town, multigenerational family bonds, first love, and the quiet courage it takes to follow your heart. Perfect for fans of heartfelt women's fiction, small-town romance, and stories of friendship, family, and self-discovery.
