Leap of Letting Go
When Hearts Leap
After being stood up for a blind date, Clara's evening takes an unexpected turn when she meets Zachary, a physics professor with a logical view of the world. As their spontaneous encounters continue, Clara finds herself questioning everything about love, life, and fate. Through deep philosophical discussions and personal revelations, Clara learns more about herself than she ever expected—and about the possibility of love that defies logic.
Leap of her Own
Eden's wedding day was supposed to be the start of a beautiful forever—until her fiancé blindsided her with a breakup she never saw coming. Reeling but resolved, she decides to reclaim her power by taking the skydiving trip they'd planned together, alone. With a parachute strapped to her back and her heart racing, she discovers Parker, a skydiving instructor with a rebellious streak and an understanding smile. As the rush of freefall helps her release the pain of the past, Eden finds herself free not just from fear, but ready to open her heart once more.
Leap of the Blue
Andy is not the spontaneous type. Or at least, she wasn't. But when her career implodes and her relationship unravels, she does something unexpected: she books a solo trip on the Blue Train and rides across South Africa toward she-doesn't-know-what. Surrounded by strangers with surprising stories—an ex-opera singer with a flair for mischief, a quiet man with a kind smile, a botanist with a suitcase full of seeds—Andy is forced to face the truth she's been avoiding: she's not lost. She's in transit. And maybe, that's exactly where she needs to be.
Leap of Letting Go
Isabel thought she knew who she was—an artist, a partner, a perfectionist. But in the aftermath of a life that no longer fits, she escapes to the wild and lets it all unravel.
In a tiny kitchen filled with smoke and whimsy, and in the quiet company of a photographer who sees more than he says, Isabel begins to rebuild. One burnt breakfast. One unexpected painting. One moment of courage at a time.
