Chasing Cristabel

Cristabel Hardison finds herself in a predicament that few would envy. A fierce and independent lioness, she is desperate to escape the pull of her Kentucky roots, where familial obligations and expectations linger like a shadow. The last thing she wants is to confront her past, but life has a way of forcing one's hand, and the call of home grows louder with each passing day.

As she navigates her new life, Cristabel grapples with the weight of her decisions and the fear of facing her loved ones. Her journey is marked by a struggle for autonomy and the desire to carve out her own identity, away from the constraints that once defined her. Throughout her adventure, she encounters unexpected allies and rivalries that challenge her perceptions and drive her forward.

With the backdrop of her home state creating a tension that is both familiar and suffocating, Cristabel must ultimately confront the powerful ties that have shaped her life. In chasing her dreams, she discovers that running away may not be the answer; rather, embracing her true self, scars and all, might just lead her to a place of peace and acceptance.
