Every Time the Sky Turns Gold

Romy Silva doesn't believe in second chances. Not after what happened last August. She's the kind of girl who keeps her guard up and her camera lens pointed outward-it's easier to frame the world than to face it.

When her estranged father leaves her the keys to his rusty old VW van in his will, Romy finds herself on a reluctant solo road trip across the British coast to scatter his ashes in the places he once loved-but never took her to. The catch? She has exactly seven days to make peace with a man she barely knew, or give up her inheritance entirely.

Then there's Callum, the hitchhiker with an Irish accent, a box of vinyl records, and secrets tucked under his silence. He's headed nowhere, and yet somehow, he ends up in Romy's passenger seat-and in the middle of everything she's been trying to outrun.

As the miles unfold and the sky turns gold over cliff edges and forgotten towns, Romy must decide what kind of story she wants her life to be: the safe one she's always written for herself-or something wilder, more uncertain, and painfully real.

A story about grief, forgiveness, music, and the people who find us right when we've stopped looking.
