About This Book
The room is silent except for the ticking clock as a young boy clutches his teddy bear, eyes wide with fear from a nightmare he can't shake. Suddenly, a gentle voice breaks through the darkness, promising to help him find peace. But can healing really begin when the past feels so heavy?
