Dead Ends on a Direct Road

Anyone can dream, but turning those dreams into reality is a different endeavor. Sometimes, no matter how much time and effort we put into a goal, it may not come to fruition.

When we reach a dead end on our direct road—when we realize that a dream, goal, or aspiration may not become a reality along the route we originally mapped out—it can be disheartening and discouraging.

Dead Ends on a Direct Road explores a different way of looking at these moments. When an initial dream or goal does not come true, it can become an opportunity to discover something greater: another path, a different calling, or a direction that may ultimately be better suited to who we are.

Drawing from Jordan Salzano's personal experiences, including the ups and downs surrounding her passionate ice hockey dreams and pursuits, the book explores how to navigate the dead ends that appear on initially perceived direct roads—and how to turn periods of turbulence into opportunities for triumph.

Learning to let go of what was not meant to be can create greater possibilities for discovering what was meant to be. Along the way, readers are encouraged to explore their own niche, calling, and potential for a new direction.
