Running Barefoot

An awkward musical prodigy named Josie and a troubled Navajo boy named Samuel form an unexpected bond that feels like coming home—she teaches him about music and belonging while he shows her there's a world waiting beyond their small town. Years later, when Samuel returns as a changed man, their connection reignites in ways neither could have predicted, and suddenly the roles they once played are beautifully reversed. This is a sweeping, deeply emotional story about how the people we meet can shape us across time and distance, and how sometimes the person meant to save us is the one we saved first. Harmon crafts a romance that honors the complexity of growing up, family ties, and the transformative power of finding your person.
