Aisha has always lived in silence. At home, her father’s anger and her mother’s absence left her feeling invisible, a shadow navigating a world that never truly sees her. School is no safer — she’s quiet, overlooked, and endlessly lonely.Then Kamal arrives. A quiet, mysterious boy who carries his own scars, hiding bruises beneath his sleeves and secrets behind every sketch he draws. When their paths cross, Aisha discovers a soul as fragile and broken as her own — and together, they begin to find pieces of themselves they thought were lost forever.Under the safety of a secluded mango tree, the two form a fragile bond, sharing their pain in whispers and sketches, navigating the dangers of home, school, and the weight of their pasts. Each chapter peels back layers of grief, fear, and hope, building suspense and tension as they confront the realities of abuse, bullying, and emotional isolation.But amid the darkness, there is healing, laughter, and the unexpected power of trust. The Day We Started Over is a heart-wrenching, emotional journey about finding connection in the unlikeliest places, the courage it takes to face life’s storms, and the triumph of love, hope, and resilience — proving that even the most broken souls can find a way to bloom.
