The Alternate World is a YA novel that explores the world both within us and around us.

Every decision is ultimately determined based on two choices-one that comes from following your heart and one that comes from following your head. So, what prevents people from achieving their own hopes, dreams, and desires?

Eve Thompson enters a New England boarding school for high school where she and her classmates are presented with an array of everyday life choices and decisions faced by teens. Will each student take the most common route or the road less traveled? There is no right or wrong answer, but only one choice leads to the path that represents your true self.

What if a world existed where people could be their authentic selves without judgement-where life choices are entirely up to you and what's best for you. What are you going to choose to do? Welcome to The Alternate World.
