Sophia Carter never thought her life would feel like a tug-of-war—between two households, two worlds, and two very different visions of who she should be. At fourteen, she’s caught in the middle of her parents’ silent battle, struggling to balance her mom’s protectiveness with her dad’s free-spirited approach. Weekends are a split-screen of rules and freedom, and Sophia is desperate to find a place where she truly belongs.
But as she steps into high school and new opportunities arise, Sophia begins to realize that neither world can fully define her. With the support of her loyal cousin Casey, a trusted school resource officer, and her own inner strength, Sophia sets out on a journey to forge her own path—a journey that will test her resilience, her relationships, and her courage to embrace independence.
Crossroads of the Heart is a poignant coming-of-age story about family, friendship, and the hard-won discovery that sometimes, finding yourself means learning to stand alone. In the end, Sophia’s greatest strength may lie not in choosing sides, but in choosing herself.
