Book Corner
Sometimes healing doesn’t come from answers.
Sometimes it comes from getting lost in something else for a while.
Some are gentle.
Some are immersive.
Some simply help the hours pass more softly.
Read when you need a break.
Read when silence feels loud.
Read when coping looks like turning the page.
