Untailored: A Life Better Suited

His life was custom-tailored. Then it all came apart at the seams.

Raised among the elite families of Minnesota’s prestigious Lake Minnetonka, nineteen-year-old Adam Wiley’s future seemed certain: a finance degree from Northwestern University, a fast track to Wall Street, and a life defined by wealth and privilege.

Then, overnight, it was unstitched.

Armed with nothing but a duffel bag and a one-way bus ticket to New York City, Adam clings to the hope of reclaiming everything he lost. Instead, the sheltered former heir finds himself sharing a crowded hostel room with strangers, working exhausting restaurant shifts, and navigating a gritty world far removed from the one he thought he knew.

As he navigates the unfamiliar, unexpected friendships and a relationship he can’t quite define will challenge everything Adam thought he knew about success, family, and who he really is.

Untailored: A Life Better Suited is an emotionally rich fish-out-of-water coming-of-age novel about losing the life you planned and discovering a life better suited to the person beneath it.
