Changing Tides is a coming-of-age, contemporary romance and self-discovery novel centered on a young woman standing at the crossroads between who she has been and who she is becoming. At its heart, the book follows Jules, a recent high school graduate growing up in the Hamptons, as she grapples with grief, love, ambition, and the fear of being left behind. On the surface, the story unfolds during one pivotal summer—but emotionally, it spans a lifetime of memories, wounds, and hopes.

Morgan Palange is a software developer whose storytelling is deeply rooted in the rhythms of everyday life and the quiet strength of self and family.

Changing Tides is about a young woman learning that growth doesn’t always mean leaving—and that sometimes staying, creating, and trusting yourself is the bravest choice you can make.
