Can Turquoise Solve Her Punctuality Dilemma?
Turquoise Nez Timerhorn seems to have it all: beauty, popularity, loyal friends,
and a promising future. Her boyfriend, Ed, is disciplined, dependable, and admired
by everyone. Together, they seem destined for success.
There’s just one problem:
Turquoise is always late.
What she dismisses as a harmless habit soon begins to cost her more than she
realizes. For instance, missed opportunities, broken trust, strained relationships,
and consequences she can no longer ignore.
In this humorous yet eye-opening behavioral transformation novel, Turquoise must
face the hidden cost of poor time habits and learn that punctuality is about far more
than being on time. It’s about trust, responsibility, and the future you create.
Time & Consequences is a powerful story for anyone who has ever sabotaged their
future by being late and a reminder that sometimes being late costs far more than
time.
