When the Moon called her name
Some wounds are silent.
They begin in childhood, in the quiet moments when love feels distant and belonging feels uncertain.
When the Moon Called Her Name tells the story of Noel, a lonely girl who feels rejected by her mother and her twin sisters. Her world is small and fragile, filled mostly with silence. She has only two friends: a cherry tree and Haruki, a samurai from her favorite book.
Noel longs deeply for connection and belonging, yet the only person with whom she truly feels understood is her grandfather — the storyteller who fills her world with wonder.
When her grandfather dies, Noel feels that the last bridge to love has disappeared. In her imagination, only one path remains: she must travel to the Moon to find Haruki, her samurai friend.
Through Noel’s journey, readers are invited to explore themes of loneliness, grief, transgenerational trauma, and the deep human longing for connection.
More than a novel, this book is an immersive healing experience. Storytelling, reflective illustrations, mandalas, and carefully curated musical pieces come together to create a space for inner exploration — a place where forgotten memories, buried emotions, and exiled parts of the self await recognition and restoration to wholeness.
This book is for anyone who has ever felt rejected, unseen, or alone. It offers a quiet invitation:

My books present personal journeys that unfold into universal ones. Wounded characters—excluded, abandoned, neglected, and rejected—follow the trail of their own lost light.
Along the way, they meet allies, face adversaries, and confront both inner and outer battles, encountering hidden parts of themselves as they fight for ownership of their own soul and the courage to use their own voice.
Initially wrapped in the restrictive webs of conditioning, they long for freedom — and a return to themselves.
