    ## Story Foundation
    
    **Core Theme:** The courage to choose authenticity over security, and finding that the scariest decision leads to the most fulfilling life.
    
    **Hook Options:**
    1. "The day I quit my six-figure job, my mother cried. Not from pride—from fear. I understood. I was terrified too."
    
    2. "Everyone has a moment when they realize they're living someone else's dream. Mine came at 2:47 AM in a hospital parking lot."
    
    3. "I spent fifteen years climbing a ladder that was leaning against the wrong wall."
    
    4. "'You're making a huge mistake,' my boss said. For once, I agreed with him—but not in the way he meant."

    **Act 1: The Awakening (Chapters 1-4)**
    - The comfortable prison (success that felt like failure)
    - The crack in the facade (inciting incident)
    - The whisper becomes a scream (growing dissatisfaction)...
