Sunlight Through Empty Hands, (Paperback)

<p>Imaginary friends are guardians from a fragile layer of reality that exists only as long as children believe in them. Most fade quietly. One doesn't.</p><p>When seven-year-old Leila discovers a boy in a yellow coat standing in a perfectly dry patch of grass during a rainstorm, her world changes forever. Koji is more than just a playmate; he is a Guardian from the Fragile Layer, a realm of light and memory that exists just out of reach for most adults. Together, they share secret bread, watch the wind change colors, and build a bond that defies the gray logic of the heavy world.</p><p>But time is a quiet thief. As Leila grows older, the weight of school, schedules, and social expectations begins to press in. The bridge between them starts to fray. Koji begins to lose his words and his form, fading like morning mist as Leila's own heart begins to carry the heavy stones of adulthood.</p><p>To save her best friend, Leila must embark on a journey to the silent halls of the Library of Lost Thoughts. There, she must face a devastating truth: growing up means choosing which relationships can survive reality.</p><p><em>Sunlight Through Empty Hands</em> is a cinematic, deeply emotional tale that explores the universal journey of leaving childhood behind. It is a story of resilience, the power of memory, and the realization that love doesn't disappear-it simply changes shape.
