‘ON MY WAY TO YOU:’ is a standalone, full-length, A New Adult Romance Novel by Kandi Steiner. Get ready to meet Emery Reed and Cooper Owens.
Happy go lucky, optimistic Cooper is a twenty-year old female living in trailer park in Alabama with deadbeat parents who don’t give a damn about her, working at the Papa Wyatt’s local diner she’d called home since the age of sixteen dreaming about her dream school Bastyr which is situated three thousand miles away on the Pacific Northwest Coast, where she wants to study Naturopathic medicine. She's just awaiting her acceptance letter.
I was Miss Optimistic. I counted my blessings daily. I always looked at the bright side of my life, ignoring the shadows of it, choosing to focus my energy on whatever positives I could grasp.
A good looking guy travelling alone stops at the diner where Cooper works and asks her one of the most oddest questions she’s ever been asked before.
“What makes you happy?”
What she wanted to say was…
“My books, my dog, yoga, the way the sun always manages to come back, no matter how dark the storm.”
But in the end she said nothing because he unnerved her, he looked like he'd just walked off the cover of a magazine.
Talking to this boy she discovers that he's passing through on his way to Washington and revealing that her dream school is there out of the blue he asks her if she wants to come along. So when an offer in a lifetime comes her way she’d be silly to turn it down wouldn’t she?
Grabbing what she could fit into a bag and her Australian shepherd mix dog named Kalo she was set to take this crazy journey through many states with a guy she didn't know. Her dream of finally leaving Alabama behind had finally come true.
Twenty three year old Emery was taking a trip to a place that held a lot of meaning to his recently deceased Grandmother and on her deathbed he promised her he would go and see it.
Emery is the complete opposite to Cooper, she's sunshine and happiness, he's dark and gloomy but together they just work.
She's the sun and I'm a black hole. I want to swallow her up and lose myself in her. But if I do, I'll destroy her.
A unique beautiful journey of self discovery, survival, self reflection and love, this will pull on your heart strings like no other book I have encountered this year, these two were perfect for each other, I truly loved how they took care of each other travelling towards their destinations.

What makes you happy?
That was the question Emery Reed asked me the day we met, and I couldn’t give him a single answer. I could have said my dog, or my books, or yoga — but I just stared.
And then, I got in his car.
It was crazy to take a road trip with a stranger, but after years of standing still, he was my one-way ticket to a new life, and I wasn’t going to miss it.
We shared the same space, the same car, the same hotel room — and still, we were strangers. One day we’d be laughing, the next, we wouldn’t speak. Emery was surrounded by impenetrable walls, but I wanted in.
Discovering his journal changed everything.
I read his thoughts, words not meant for anyone’s eyes, and the more I learned about him, the harder I fell. It turned out nothing made Emery Reed happy, and I wanted to change that.
I earned his trust by violating his privacy, and as wrong as it was, it worked — until one entry revealed a darkness I never knew existed, a timer I never knew was ticking.
Suddenly, what made me happy was saving Emery from himself. I just didn’t know if I could.
