Charles Taylor has spent his post-college years waiting for that one special opportunity, the one that will change his direction, identity, and life. When he’s reunited with Harper, a missed opportunity and the girl who got away, he can’t help but take advantage of it, setting in motion a series of events that guarantees the change he has so badly wanted.

Harper’s Ferry, an 81,000 word story that had been inspired by authors such as John Green and Jay Asher that is set in Richmond, Virginia, follows Taylor and his friends from their socialite beginnings to their eventual epiphanies. It is a story about transition, growing up, and the hard truths we all learn on the road outside of adolescence. Like any story worth telling, it begins and ends with a girl. It’s a love story, and well, something a little more.
