She was invisible-until tragedy made her unforgettable. For most of her life, she was easy to overlook. Quiet steps. Passing stares. Forgotten names. But when a crash shatters her family and leaves her the only one still standing, the world suddenly sees her. Whispers follow her through the halls. Strangers know her name. She always dreamed of being noticed-just not like this. As grief swallows her whole, grades crumble, and trouble finds her faster than comfort ever could. Everyone tries to help, but no one sees the bruises behind her smile or hears the silence she's forced to keep. Behind closed doors, her new foster home becomes a different kind of nightmare. Until one person refuses to look away-her tutor. And maybe, for the first time, she'll learn that healing doesn't start with being fixed. It starts with being seen.

A Daughter's Grief, A Father's Love, A Soul Still Healing... I counted the days like I used to when I was a child; waiting for my father to come home from a long trip. But this time, he's not coming back. This book is a love letter to my grief. To the girl I was before July 7, 2022. To the silence that came after the miscalls. To the daughter who still whispers " I miss you, Dada" into her pillow. And to the woman who's learning that surviving is also a form of loving. Moonlight Still Finds Me isn't just a book. It's a gentle reminder that heartbreak doesn't make you broken. That even if you feel lost, you are not alone. Because somewhere in the dark; your story is still glowing. And so are you.
