Our Last Reunion is a novella developed as part of a Book Publishing and Marketing course (CRI 420), where our team completed the entire publishing process. The project included writing the manuscript, designing the cover, developing a marketing strategy, and publishing the book on Amazon. It provided hands-on experience in creative storytelling, publishing workflows, and book promotion.
Synopsis: Rosalie and Ben were childhood sweethearts who never confessed their feelings. Years later, Rosalie returns home for a high school reunion and reconnects with Ben, now a teacher in a remote village and battling a terminal illness. During one night filled with memories and honesty, they rediscover their love and realize that second chances can be powerful—even if they may not last forever.
