Book Three — Into Adulthood by Gregory Allen Tullous Growing up is supposed to be simple. Graduate. Start a career. Build a life. But for Mikie Miller , adulthood arrives with far more than responsibility—it arrives with choices that will define the man he becomes. Leaving behind the familiar comfort of Piney Woods, Mikie steps into the unpredictable world of college, independence, and the first real decisions of his life. Along the way he discovers that freedom brings consequences, mistakes become lessons, and the future is something that must be built one step at a time. From the chaos of dorm life to the pressure of a demanding construction career, Mikie learns what it truly means to take responsibility for his path. Alongside new friendships, hard-earned respect, and the unexpected love of Sarah Whitaker , the boy who once depended on guidance must learn to stand on his own. But one presence has quietly followed him since childhood. Greg. The mysterious and mischievous spirit who once watched over Mikie’s younger years is still there—offering the occasional sign, a subtle nudge, and a reminder that even when life feels uncertain, we are never completely alone. As Mikie builds his career, faces his mistakes, and ultimately prepares to start a family of his own, he discovers that adulthood isn’t a destination. It’s a journey. A journey of love, responsibility, loss, and hope. And sometimes the greatest lessons in life come from the quiet voices guiding us along the way. Into Adulthood is the heartfelt and powerful final chapter of the Unfinished Business trilogy—a story about growing up, building a future, and discovering the true meaning of family, love, and legacy.
