Every strategy in Camellia Rhodes' plan to conquer the fashion world had been correct, catapulting her up the haute-couture ladder until she finally landed the role of her dreams: editor-in-chief of Flair, one of the top fashion magazines in the country. But the controversial fashion editorials she mandates to garner attention for the magazine prove to be more than a misstep, as numerous long-time advertisers end their contracts with Flair. With the recession taking hold of the economy, the publishing company shutters the magazine, and shuts Camellia out of the organization for good. With no opportunities to be found in New York, Camellia winds up in Markleeville, Michigan, with one lonely street making up the entire downtown and the most popular ladies boutique sporting a regular Panty Bonanza ("All the undies you can fit into a big Ziploc for $9.99"). Just as she is starting to lose her sense of self, Camellia discovers Shelby Jenkins-a tall, willowy fan of Flair and a modeling agent's dream come true. Camellia is certain Shelby is her ticket back into the arms of the fashion world. But while Shelby is willing, her mom's secret could spoil Camellia's grand plan.

With his new company starting to flourish, and his family time finally balanced, Will is starting to believe he's got life figured out. Then a phone call in the middle of the night delivers news Will never considered: a massive heart attack has taken the life of his father. Although Will had put distance - both mentally and with miles - from his parents during much of his adulthood, the pain he feels over the loss of his dad makes Will realize he underestimated his true feelings for his parents. Life begins changing for Will again, from a secret he uncovers in his parents' files to welcoming his mom - possibly permanently - to his home. In the midst of it all, Will sets his sights on even greater ambition: Establishing a legacy to leave behind for his children. But before he can realize his legacy, Will must first look back at his past, and find a way to bring the two together.

After turning down a promotion to focus on what matters most in his life, Will Allen notices that things at his office aren't what they once were. Meetings are scheduled without his knowledge, clients are being reassigned, and a new guy arrives to take the position originally meant for him. Meanwhile, Will's new role as assistant coach for his son Nathan's basketball team isn't going that well either. When he's not arriving late due to some work crisis, he's getting pressured to dedicate even more time to the team. With his job already in jeopardy, Will isn't sure he can afford to keep putting his family first. But can he afford to go back to his old workaholic ways?

With his workload and bid to be the next executive vice president of his company hanging in the balance, a weeklong trip to the family reunion in Pennsylvania, one he hasn't made in ten years, isn't a priority for Will Allen. What starts out as nothing more than an excuse for alone time to devise a plan to win a promotion, turns into a reminder that family bonds don't fade just because work gets in the way. But is that knowledge enough to bridge the distance he has created with his own family? Seek Your Freedom is the first in a series of books describing Will Allen's discovery of what matters most in his life, how he works to create balance and harmony among the roles he plays and ultimately how he achieves true happiness.
