In The Time Of Bruises: Even the quietest scars have stories that scream

Description

In the Time of Bruises is a haunting, lyrical novel that follows Akia, a young woman navigating a fractured world shaped by trauma, violence, memory, and identity. Told through fragmented, poetic prose, her story explores the quiet battles that follow us long after the wounds have faded. As Akia struggles to understand herself and her past, she discovers that healing is rarely linear. Raw, intimate, and deeply human, the novel explores coming-of-age, resilience, and the search for connection, while offering glimpses of hope within the darkness. It is a story about surviving what changes you—and finding the strength to become yourself again.
