CrossRoads by author Aubrey Rhoden is an interactive memoir and inspirational book series built from true stories collected around the world. Each story captures a defining moment that changed the course of a life forever through love, loss, heartbreak, courage, faith, resilience, and unexpected human connection.
Written by internationally published author Aubrey Rhoden, CrossRoads invites readers to reflect on their own journey while preserving the wisdom, advice, and lessons that deserve to be passed down for generations.
Part memoir, part guided journal, and part living historical archive, CrossRoads encourages readers to record their own memories, reflections, and life lessons alongside the stories within its pages.
Every chapter features powerful storytelling, cinematic black-and-white photography, and immersive Augmented Reality experiences that bring the people behind the stories to life.
Senior living communities, assisted living organizations, memory care communities, and healthcare leaders are using CrossRoads as a thoughtful resident appreciation gift, book club experience, family engagement tool, and legacy project.
It is more than a keepsake. It is a reminder that every resident’s journey matters, every life carries wisdom, and every story deserves to be remembered.
Launching globally in July 2026, CrossRoads will travel internationally through book tours, documentary events, speaking engagements, and immersive writing retreats designed to help people preserve their memories and transform personal experiences into lasting legacy.

“Dottie Estess’s story in Crossroads is a deeply moving introduction to a collection that will be centered on life’s defining moments. Through Aubrey Rhoden’s immersive, often lyrical writing, readers are drawn into a world shaped by relationships, belonging, and community.
There is a quiet intimacy in the storytelling that invites the reader to slow down, reflect, and fully experience each moment. The writing engages the senses and carries a gentle sense of nostalgia, creating space to breathe and sit with the emotions that unfold.
Dottie’s story lingers long after it is read, offering not just a narrative, but a powerful reflection on life and the courage it takes to persevere at the crossroads that shape who we become.”

“Each story reminds us that behind every person is a history shaped by moments we may know nothing about. Reading Crossroads isn’t just about learning what happened to these individuals; it’s about understanding who they became because of it, and how those moments continue to influence their paths long after the crossroads has passed.”

“Aubrey, WOW…just, WOW!!!! You are truly so incredibly talented!
I know you mentioned that writing styles are a preference – that being acknowledged, I am a true fan. I enjoyed each and every word you curated. You masterfully captured not only the experience but the essence of your leading man and lady. It was a joy to have the slow snowy weekend to truly savor each word and reflect on the meaningful lives of every person you shared.”
