Paperback. Across Different SkiesA Story of Distance, Longing, and LoveIn March 2009, after a long shift in the emergency room in Manila, Dr. Tika Reyes logs into a Yahoo chat room with no expectation beyond distraction. What she finds instead is Malik, a quiet, thoughtful Syrian refugee rebuilding his life in Copenhagen, where he is studying engineering and learning how to begin again in a country that is safe, but not yet home.What begins as an accidental conversation soon becomes the gentlest part of their days.Across time zones, griefs, and vastly different worlds, Tika and Malik form a connection built first through words: late-night confessions, small kindnesses, shared loneliness, and the fragile, beautiful intimacy of being truly seen. As weeks turn into months, messages become longing, webcam glimpses become ache, and what once seemed impossible begins to feel like the most honest thing in either of their lives.By the time September arrives, one truth remains: some distances can no longer be endured from afar.Across Different Skies is a tender and hopeful novel about love that begins quietly, grows through courage, and asks two wounded but resilient hearts to risk crossing the world for something real. It is a story of waiting, of belonging, and of discovering that sometimes love arrives from farther away than we ever imagined, yet still feels like home. A tender, hopeful love story of distance, longing, and courage.Between Manila and Copenhagen, where words become love and love asks for a crossing. This item is printed on demand.

A Dream-Life Novel by Amara Lumen
At four years old, Amara survives the road between Jakarta and Bandung, only to wake in a bright hospital room to a world rewritten by absence.
When she wakes from a two-week coma, the only face still there is her sister’s…eighteen years old, suddenly a guardian, and the last fragile thread of home. Terrified that a single sound might make that thread snap, Amara chooses silence. Not because she cannot speak, but because she believes if she stays silent, the last person she loves will stay.
When relatives arrange asylum in Sweden, the sisters arrive in a country of snow, order, and watchful quiet…where kindness is real, but unfamiliar, and where Amara’s silence makes her both a mystery and a target.
In Luleå, she learns to live without speaking, building a life through small, defiant acts of return: notebooks filled with words, languages learned in stillness. Then two children at school, Ulrika and Tobias choose them. Their parents follow. What begins as a simple invitation to fika becomes a lifeline: warm kitchens, cinnamon buns, steady hands, and “bonus parents” who show up without demanding explanations. Slowly, the circle widens. The fear loosens. And one day, in a kitchen warm enough to trust, Amara speaks again…one word at a time, learning that love can stay.
Spanning childhood to adulthood, and carrying Amara toward medicine, friendship, and a life built on chosen family, The Things We Don’t Say is not a story of tragedy alone…it is a story of return: into language, into belonging, and into the brave, ordinary miracle of being held.
This novel is a tribute to everyone who has survived in silence…
and to every person who helped them find their way back.
