By The River She Danced
Some stories meet us gently. They don’t shout, they don’t rush — they breathe, they soften, they remind us of what we already know deep inside: healing takes time, courage grows quietly, and life always finds a way to move forward.
By The River She Danced by Sophie Phan is one of those stories.
A tender and reflective journey through loss, resilience, and rediscovery, this novel invites readers to slow down, breathe, and find strength in stillness.
Told with lyrical grace and emotional honesty, this is a book for anyone rebuilding, reclaiming joy, or learning to trust life again. It’s a story soaked in hope: soft, steady, and luminous as riverlight.
