Someone should be sorry for what happens to people... so I will be.
Jane has spent her life learning how to disappear.
After loss and trauma reshape the way she sees the world, she begins to withdraw-not just from others, but from herself. It's easier that way. Safer. Quieter.
But healing doesn't arrive all at once.
In familiar places that start to feel different.
In conversations that don't go the way they used to.
In the quiet realization that maybe she isn't as invisible as she thought.
A story about carrying pain you cannot fix.
About seeing the world clearly-and choosing to remain.
About the unbearable weight of knowing what people will go through... and loving them through it.
Because the truth is:
Pain is inevitable.
You won't be able to prevent it.
And that can be devastating.
Still, one question lingers beneath everything:
What do you do when the world is cruel-and you can't stop it?
There are different ways to answer that.
This novel offers a quiet, devastating one.
You love anyway.
You show up anyway.
You try anyway.
You try anyway.
