Tripping Through Stars

Tripping Through Stars novel cover

COMING SPRING 2027!

The destiny she always dreamed of is knocking. But do the stars have other plans?

Kaya Blue Calloway literally bears the scar—down her left arm—of growing up with a pot smoking mother who refused to be called Mom. She’s certain that Margo’s hippie-mystic parenting is the reason she’s afraid to have kids. Why she’s about to lose the man she’s in love with. And why she lost Carlie, her only childhood friend, whose silver-spoon life Kaya envied.

Now, at thirty-one, Carlie is dead. Kaya returns to Margo’s remote cottage in Door County, Wisconsin to attend the memorial service. Her plan: Make peace with the past so she can confidently move into the future. High hopes for a four-day visit—especially with everyone tiptoeing around the truth. As memories surface like magic mushrooms, Kaya begins to see Margo’s disdain for Carlie’s moneyed world as partly justified. Until she uncovers an unforgivable betrayal—fracturing her fragile self-worth, tipping her sympathies fully back to Carlie.

But Kaya is about to discover that trust-fund girls struggle, too. After all… Carlie is dead.

Set in the early 2000s, Tripping Through Stars is a wry coming-of-age tale, a star-crossed romance, a poignant mother-daughter story, and an unflinching look at the transformative power of female friendship.
