Fort Walton Beach, FL, December 29, 2025 --(PR.com)-- Benton Savage, the founder of Savage Property Group, specializing in Airbnb investments and management on the Florida panhandle, has completed his new book, “Free and SATISFIED”: a riveting story of a young man who, following a devastating loss, attempts to find his place and discover who he truly is after setting out and ending up in Memphis.

“After the recent death of his father from cancer, nineteen-year-old Zack Mercury is living at home with his mother in a small town in East Tennessee,” shares Savage. “Distraught and fearing he might spend the rest of his life in Deep Elem, he sets off alone to find with no destination in mind, ending up at the Peabody Hotel in Memphis where the five famous ducks have paraded up and down the red carpet to the Peabody fountain twice daily for the last eighty years.

“In an instance of ‘love at first sight,’ Zack falls for the front desk clerk, Prudy, a young Black woman who is equally restless. Enraptured by Prudy, the elegance of the ‘South’s Grand Hotel,’ and the ceremonial ‘Duck March,’ Zack impulsively decides to stay in Memphis and attempts to win Prudy’s heart.

“Seeking a new life in a city where he knows no one, he learns that you are not only judged by the people you associate with but also by not having any friends at all.”

Published by Page Publishing, Benton Savage’s enthralling tale will captivate readers as they follow along on Zack’s struggles to discover who he truly is, and what sort of life he hopes to build for himself amongst the beautiful backdrop of the Peabody Hotel. Exploring issues of impulsivity, alcohol, and the nuances of an interracial relationship, “Free and SATISFIED” is a coming-of-age story for those who are also exploring and for those who have been there.

Readers who wish to experience this inspiring work can purchase “Free and SATISFIED” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
