A tender, time-spanning coming-of-age about love, loss, and the worlds we build between us.
Jonah Ellis is twelve when a red envelope changes everything.
Fostered from his rainy 90s orphanage to a family in sun-washed 70s-Town, he steps into a world of bell-bottoms, mixtapes, and second chances. But belonging doesn't come easily. Rivalries form, hearts collide, and every decision carries its own price. Between a foster brother who becomes both rival and friend, a girl who teaches him the weight of promises, and letters that bridge the distance between decades, Jonah learns that growing up is the art of holding on-and letting go.
From the glow of county fairs to neon nights in 80s-Town, Choice travels through eras of love, jealousy, grief, and renewal. As Jonah becomes the bridge designer who literally connects the divided towns of his youth, he discovers that family isn't defined by blood or time-it's built choice by choice.
