Finding the Light: Book one, #1 – Kobo eBook

Sometimes the hardest battle isn’t surviving the pastit’s learning how to live in the present.

For Thalassa, isolation has always been the safest choice. Shielded by her own deeply ingrained avoidance patterns, she navigates the restless landscape of the city alone, convinced that keeping her distance is the only way to protect herself from the heavy echoes of trauma. Her quiet walls are sturdy, her routines are grounding, and her life is perfectly predictable.

But those walls are about to be tested.

When life forces her to step outside her carefully constructed comfort zone and engage with a vibrant, persistent community, Thalassa is pulled out of the shadows. She meets people who refuse to let her hide and who slowly teach her the power of connection. As she begins to lower her guard, she discovers that family isn’t just something you are born intoit is something you can build.

Yet, healing is never a straight line. To truly embrace this new chapter, Thalassa must confront the inner struggles she has been running from for years. She faces an agonizing choice: retreat back into the familiar, lonely safety of her isolation, or risk the terrifying vulnerability required to accept genuine support, self-compassion, and love.

Finding the Light, Book One is a deeply moving, atmospheric contemporary novel about resilience and the quiet courage it takes to heal. Perfect for readers who love profound emotional journeys, complex character growth, and stories that prove no one has to walk through the darkness alone.
