The world has never been louder. News alerts buzz on our phones, social media scrolls endlessly, and opinions fly faster than we can process them. In the middle of all that noise, it’s easy to wonder if stories still matter. I believe they do.
Stories are more than headlines. They’re the beating heart behind the facts—the laughter in a newsroom, the silence at a dinner table, the weight of choices nobody else sees. When I wrote this book, I wanted readers to step beyond the news and into the lives of the people behind it.
Because that’s what stories do: they make us feel. They remind us that even in chaos, there are human beings with fears, flaws, and hopes. That’s why stories outlast noise—because they connect us in ways data and headlines never can.
In my novel, every page is a reminder that truth isn’t abstract—it’s lived. It’s messy. And it always comes at a cost. But when told through story, it’s also unforgettable.
So yes, the world is noisy. But as long as stories keep being told, there’s always a way to cut through the static and find what really matters.
