A bell in an Appalachian churchyard. A pocket watch placed in a boy's hand by his great-grandfather. A boy who becomes the man asked to carry both forward.
The Choice Is Yours is a philosophical fable drawn from lived experience: the story of how the men in one family taught a son what a circumstance is, what a response is, and how the difference between them shapes a life. Across five parts, it follows one narrator from an Appalachian boyhood through college, early adulthood, and a return home, arriving at a single, hard-won understanding: the terrain we are handed is not ours to decide, but the way we move across it is.
For readers drawn to quiet, character-driven fiction about family, responsibility, and the inheritances that pass from one generation to the next.
My agency is my responsibility.
