Cover of WHEN SKY MEETS HOME

When SkyMeets Home.

A debut novel about identity, memory, and the fragile search for belonging. About a woman who travels across oceans in search of her origin, only to find that home is not a place she can simply return to, but something she must confront within herself. And about the man who meets her there, carrying his own silences, and the unexpected ways two broken paths can begin to align. Tender, layered, and quietly transformative.

The child that never was

Sitting on the toilet seat, mourning the child that never was. On hope, grief, and the quiet lie of being fine.
