Some places change you before you understand why.
For Chase Carter, coming home was supposed to be a change of direction. He didn’t realise how many other lives were about to change with his.
WELCOME TO BRIGHTHAVEN BAY
Chase Carter left Seattle behind expecting a fresh start. What he didn’t expect was teaching a class that would become the place where questions are finally allowed, where creativity is rediscovered, and where people begin to see beyond the paths they thought their lives were limited to.
Some are tired of work that no longer feels like theirs. Others have spent years trying to build something online without finding the path that finally fits.
At Brighthaven College, classroom conversations begin to spark ideas, open hearts, and reveal possibilities no
one saw coming.
This is a story about coming home. And discovering where life can take you next.
SOME OF THEM ARE WAITING FOR YOU.
CHASE
He came home after he realized his chosen Direction was helping others discover their own.
JENNY
She left a career that no longer had any meaning for her. But is this her final destination?
NICK
Sometimes the life you’ve built works perfectly—until the world changes around it.
ELLIE
She’s seen the hardest moments—and never stopped believing in what matters.
LILA
She’s learning how to turn her story into something that helps others.
EMILY
A personal crisis forces her to reexamine the path ahead. Uncertainty is certain.
THE QUESTIONS DON’T STAY ON THE PAGE
You may begin Brighthaven Bay by following Chase. But somewhere along the way, you may find yourself thinking about your own life.
- An interest you stopped pursuing.
- An ability you’ve never taken seriously.
- A Direction you’ve wondered about but never explored.
That’s why the Alignment Workbook exists. The story belongs to the people of Brighthaven Bay.
The questions belong to all of us.

THIS ISN’T A STORY ABOUT CHASING THE NEXT BIG THING.
It’s about recognizing what already matters to you—and understanding how a changing world might allow you to do something with it that wasn’t possible before. That question can matter whether you’re restless in a job, frustrated by online efforts that never quite worked, or facing a change you never expected.
Family | Friendship | Faith | Second Chances | Meaningful Work | Unexpected Relationships
When technology makes the “How?” easier, knowing “What should I be building?” becomes even more important.
THE BOOK AND THE WORKBOOK WERE DESIGNED TO WORK TOGETHER.
A NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR
Brighthaven Bay began as a story about people asking themselves a simple but powerful question: whether the path they were on was really the one they wanted. Somewhere along the way, I realized I was asking myself many of those same questions.
It's a story that may make you look at your life and wonder if the path you're on is really the one you want.
Writing Brighthaven Bay changed more than the story. Along the way, I began discovering my own Calling and a clearer sense of Direction—and learned that sometimes greater clarity comes simply by moving forward.
Thank you for spending time in Brighthaven Bay. I hope the story stays with you long after the final page—and reminds you that possibilities are still ahead and a better path may be closer than you think.
