Eleanor in transit

Eleanor had it all planned out-until the email came. Losing her scholarship meant losing everything she'd worked for, and with no way to tell her parents, she had no choice but to survive on her own. Balancing early mornings as a personal assistant, long shifts as a barista, and late nights buried in textbooks, she's barely holding it together. Exhaustion creeps in, friendships start slipping, and the pressure of staying afloat threatens to break her. Then there's Ryan-the charming, driven nephew of her demanding boss-who sees right through her tough facade. He offers support, study sessions, and an unwavering belief in her that she can't quite accept. But Ryan has struggles of his own, trapped under the weight of family expectations, forcing Mia to realize that she's not the only one fighting for control of her future. With her younger sister, Lily, cheering her on and a competitive scholarship on the horizon, Mia must figure out how to balance work, school, and relationships before everything falls apart. When burnout pushes her to the edge, she faces a choice: keep carrying the weight alone or finally let others in. Heartfelt, inspiring, and full of resilience, this is a story about chasing dreams, finding support in unexpected places, and learning that success isn't just about survival-it's about who stands by your side when the clock is running out.
