Description

In a world where fitting in feels impossible, one teenager turns to hip-hop, heartbreak, and hope to find his place.

When Chris is uprooted from his quiet Southern hometown and thrust into the bustling world of Long Island, he's faced with crushing isolation and a deep longing for connection. Through trials, setbacks, and a fateful car crash, Chris's journey becomes one of self-discovery, resilience, and finding purpose in unexpected places. From loner to lyricist, he must navigate betrayal, unrequited love, and a friendship that could change his life.

At the center of this emotional odyssey is a love for hip-hop—its history, its poetry, and its power to bring unlikely souls together. As Chris teams up with two outcast classmates, Victor and Jimmy, they form a bond rooted in beats, bars, and brotherhood. Together, they embark on a quest not just to understand the roots of rap, but to leave their own imprint on its future. 

With humor, raw emotion, and a dash of rebellion, Finding Horizons delivers an unforgettable ride through music, memory, and the meaning of belonging.

Where the beat drops, the truth rises. Get your copy of Finding Horizons today and experience a bold, lyrical journey of friendship, identity, and the power of finding your voice.

Finding Horizons is a powerful and moving story about a teen named Chris who’s struggling to find his place in a new world, far from the familiarity of his Southern hometown. What really struck me was how relatable his journey felt—navigating loneliness, heartbreak, and identity, all while discovering the healing power of music and friendship. The bond between Chris, Victor, and Jimmy had me rooting for them like they were real-life friends. I appreciated how the book didn’t sugarcoat the struggles, but still left me feeling hopeful and inspired. I couldn’t put it down because I wanted to see Chris win—not just in music, but in life.

Okay listen—Finding Horizons is like the mixtape I didn’t know I needed. 🎧 Chris is awkward, lost, and kinda heartbroken—and I loved every second of watching him stumble into this unexpected hip-hop trio that somehow makes magic out of pain. It’s got teen drama, raw emotion, epic beats, and a friend group that totally gave me goosebumps. If you’ve ever felt like an outsider or needed a fresh beat to get through the mess of life, this one’s for you. I laughed, I vibed, I maybe cried (once, okay?). Get this book. Mic drop. 🎤✨
