Ruhani: A Soul Learning to Breathe
Book One of Untill We Couldn't Series
She was never the storm.
She was the silence after - the kind that buried you.
Ruhani Mirza has always been invisible in the places she called home. Blamed, belittled, and broken in the corners of her own house, she survives by clinging to things no one notices - her poetry journal, her nani's voice in her head, and the sound of cassette tapes that still speak louder than her family.
At twenty, life offers her a way out - a job in another city, a train ticket she hides beneath her pillow, and a chance to breathe away from the ones who taught her she wasn't enough.
But before freedom can begin, the past demands to be grieved.
From friendships that turned to betrayals, to a love that was never hers to keep, Ruhani must confront the ghosts of who she was... to find the girl who still dreams.
A tender coming-of-age tale about survival, softness, and slow rebellion, Ruhani: A Soul Learning to Breathe is a heartbreakingly intimate look into what it means to be broken - and still choose to begin.
