Dessa Rhodes is a modern day nomad. Her family travels in an RV, their lives de-fined by state lines, exit signs, and the small communal caravan they call home. Among them is Cyrus, her best friend and long-time crush, whom she knows she can never be with. When your families are perpetually linked, it’s too dangerous to take a risk on romance.
Instead, Dessa looks to the future. She wants to be a real artist and going to art school is her ticket to success and a new life. There’s just one problem: she hasn’t been accepted…anywhere. Suddenly her future is wide open, and it looks like she’s going to be stuck traveling forever.
Then an unexpected opportunity presents itself: an internship working with a local artist in Santa Fe. Dessa struggles to prove to her boss—and herself—that she be-longs there, but just as she finally hits her stride, her family suffers an unexpected blow. Faced with losing everything that she has worked for, Dessa has a difficult decision to make. Will she say goodbye to her nomadic lifestyle and the boy she loves? Or will she choose to never stop moving?
Feature: GIF Story
Your Destination Is on the Left tells the story of nomadic teen artist Dessa Rhodes, who wants nothing more than to settle down and go to college.
Unfortunately, she doesn’t get in anywhere.
She thinks her future is ruined, until she gets an internship in Santa Fe. Dessa and the families she travels with jump into their RVs, and head west.
The journey is full of surprises–including a hot cowboy in a crowded Oklahoma City bar–but the only guy Dessa really wants to be with is Cyrus, her best friend who travels with her.
Things between them are going well (and I mean really well…did you see that gif?!), until late one night when they get into a fight, and Cyrus leaves. With Cyrus gone, Dessa focuses on her internship, but it’s hard to break through her fear of failure, especially now that she doesn’t have Cyrus there to help her through.
But Dessa refuses to give up on her future or Cyrus. Instead, Dessa must look inside herself for inspiration, and decide once and for all: is she going to let failure get the best of her, or is she going to start a new adventure on her own terms?
To find out how Dessa’s story ends—and what happens between she and Cyrus—pick up a copy of Your Destination Is on the Left!
