Publisher's Synopsis
Threads in the Quiet: A Star from the Ashes
Some journeys are not about escape-they are about becoming.
Exhausted. Grieving. Lost. She needed more than a break-she needed a new beginning. Leaving behind a draining job, a relationship that no longer fulfilled her, and the unbearable weight of her brother's passing, she takes a leap of faith. With nothing but a packed bag and her savings, she boards a plane to Costa Rica, searching for peace, perspective, and the courage to see life differently.
But transformation does not come easily.
Lost in the rainforest, she faces fear in its rawest form-until a guide teaches her that being lost is not the same as being broken. In a quiet marketplace, an older woman hands her a necklace crafted from volcanic rock, marked with a silver star. "Fire made this. Pressure shaped it. Time gave it beauty. It has survived everything. And so will you."
Through the wisdom of strangers, the stillness of nature, and the stars that shine brighter in the darkness, she begins to understand: not all things that burn are destroyed. Some are transformed.
A poetic and introspective journey of healing, A Star from the Ashes is a deeply personal story about grief, renewal, and the quiet power of finding yourself in the places you least expect.
