Sinopse
Eli and Jane are each searching for a new path, but without quite understanding how to take that first step. Independently they've been drifting through the days in an attempt to avoid confronting certain realities that are holding them back from moving towards a happy future. They determine to set off on the road in hopes that inspiration will hit. When they accidentally find each other in the desert they realize they are not alone. They realize that things can change, and they need to decide if their pasts really matter when it comes to their future. Eli and Jane is a modern road trip novella about that time in life when you begin to question all the decisions you've made, and the universe steps in to help you reset, reenvision the future, and move forward in the right direction. The first reviews are in, and readers love Eli and Jane: "Eli and Jane is a captivating and charming cross-country romance that presents the question of what it means and feels like to wake up, to listen to your hear, take risks, reflect on the past and move into the future. [The Author's] thoughtful account of passing through and reminiscing about life's phases is relatable to anyone who has, who is, or has ever thought about taking a leap to make a change. It's about being uncomfortable, setting out, letting go, and being open to what comes. I highly recommend this wonderfully written, engaging and reflective book - perfect for those in need of a little rest and recuperation, or even, perhaps, a little motivation." -Meghan W. "I quickly got into this story and couldn't put it down. When I finished it, I wanted more." -Pattie "Once I started reading it I just couldn't stop until I get to the end of it. Would recommend to anyone." -Annica "This is a great read that keeps you intrigued from start to finish. It was the perfect rainy day, wrap up in a blanket, grab a drink, and power through read. We can all relate to these well developed characters as they work their way through past experiences - determining what is most important, how to move beyond obstacles, and what direction they want to head next." -Melissa "Fresh writing. Natural and informative dialogue. It's severl stories from two perspectives. Beautiful imagery. A risky road trip to uncertain destinations of finding fresh intentions midstream or in this case, mid-road. Illustrates that the equation for coincidence is time and place. What is it about road trips that is so appealing? Part of the answer must be the deep contemplation the best journeys can induce. Steering becomes hypnotic and the mind wanders, landing on insights otherwise overlooked or unexplored; not unlike the various breaks one takes along the way. Through inventive description, Ryan Woldt's, "Eli and Jane" follows an emotionally risky American road trip to uncertain destinations from two perspectives. Natural and informative inner dialogue balances beautiful physical imagery, with thoughtful, searching introspection. Fresh intentions reveal themselves as chance encounters and difficult conversations offer clarity on the subject people care most about. Travel can do that." - Bob
