My Best Companion

Some friendships feel like they've been there forever.

Fourteen-year-old Qairis Miller has lived with a quiet gap in her childhood memories since an accident at ten years old erased everything that came before. Though her family and friends help her rebuild the years she can remember, something still feels missing - like a name she almost knows, a voice just out of reach.

When a dream leads her to a quiet park during an overwhelming family gathering, she meets a boy who feels achingly familiar. Wesley Brown knows her nickname, understands her fears, and listens in ways no one else ever has. Being with him feels like finding a piece of herself she didn't realize was lost.

As Qairis searches through old drawings and forgotten diary pages, she begins to uncover fragments of the girl she used to be - the loneliness she once carried, the promises she once made, and the strength she didn't know she had.

My Best Companion is a tender coming-of-age story about memory, anxiety, and learning that sometimes the person who helps you survive your hardest days becomes the reason you're strong enough to continue.
