Dusk of Dawn

For Vicky, life has always been about burying the pain. Known as his family's "bundle of joy," he's spent years hiding his true feelings behind a smile, trying to keep the peace in a family fractured by tension and conflict. But when a long-awaited beach vacation stirs memories he thought he'd buried-of his parents' fights and his older brother Nathan's quiet promises of protection-Vicky finds himself unable to hold back the emotions he's kept locked away.

As he walks alone by the shore, overwhelmed by memories of the past and the bittersweet ache of lost innocence, Vicky is forced to confront the sadness he's hidden for so long. In a moment of vulnerability, he begins to question his own resilience and wonder how he has carried the weight of his family's secrets.

In a journey of self-discovery, healing, and acceptance, The Dusk of Dawn explores the painful beauty of facing the darkness within and finding light in the most unexpected places. This tender, introspective novel invites readers into the heart of a young man learning that sometimes, to truly embrace happiness, we must first allow ourselves to feel the full weight of sorrow.
