Wandering Thoughts, Open Mind (A spin-off to The Day I First Met You)
45 parts Ongoing MatureElla, Alice, and Miriam have always had only each other. Raised in the foster care system and adopted together in sixth grade by their fiercely loyal guardian, Palutena, the sisters now face adulthood on their own terms. Ella, the eldest, is a junior at Morgan State University, juggling school, sisterhood, her ex, Setsuna, and a secret relationship with Cayden, a senior at Johns Hopkins. Alice, bold and unpredictable, is caught in a spiraling relationship with Randy at UMD-one that tests family trust and her own self-worth. And Miriam, the youngest and most grounded, holds fast to her academic path and quiet romance with Jack while trying to keep the peace between her sisters.
As their stories unfold across different campuses and intersecting lives, the sisters must navigate first loves, old wounds, and the tightrope of loyalty. With their chosen family-Ella, Alice, Miriam, and the chaotic extended crew of Chris, Lichty, Feldt, and Kid-never far from the drama, the bond they built in childhood will be tested like never before. Some ties run deep. Others are about to snap.
A compilation of memories as our beloved gang navigates the new world of adulthood-a true coming-of-age story. The spin-off to "The Day I First Met You."
