Fear of December

Luna: The Girl Who Forgot How to Smile is a heartbreaking story about innocence stolen, trust shattered, and a girl forced to grow stronger than she ever wanted to be.

At just ten years old, Luna experiences something she doesn't even have the words to understand. What she buries as a "bad dream" quietly shapes the way she sees the world. Years later, when she believes she has grown strong enough to face anything, another terrifying night reminds her that danger does not always come from strangers sometimes it lives next door.

What follows is not just a story of survival, but of the invisible wounds that remain long after the world moves on.

Through hospital walls, sleepless nights, silent panic attacks, and glass office buildings filled with judging eyes, Luna fights a battle no one can see. She struggles with fear, broken trust, and the haunting echoes of stories of other girls who never made it home.

This novel dives deep into the psychology of trauma how it changes the way a woman walks, speaks, trusts, and loves. It explores the quiet strength it takes to wake up every day in a world that feels unsafe.

But above all, this is not a story about weakness.

It is a story about survival.
About the courage to run.
About the courage to stay.
And about a girl who may have forgotten how to smile
but never forgot how to fight.

A deeply emotional journey that will leave readers in tears, questioning society, and holding their loved ones a little tighter.
