Blurb
Starting over isn’t as simple as leaving. Sometimes, the past follows you.
Shelby Marshall is ready for a fresh start. College means freedom — from her too small hometown, her complicated family, and the blurred lines of a relationship that should never have happened. But when a familiar face shows up in her new city, Shelby finds herself pulled back into a connection she can’t seem to shake.
Trying to rewrite her story, Shelby navigates first love, betrayal, and the trauma of growing up too fast. As new friendships form and long-buried truths rise to the surface, she starts to question everything she thought she knew — about love, faith, and herself.
The Holloway Boy is an New Adult story of resilience, growth, and learning to trust your voice — even when it falters.
