A Halo of Light: When the Mind Refuses Reality

About this book

In a world designed with cold engineering precision, where feelings are measured in spreadsheets and souls sterilized with 'chemical cleanliness' disinfectants, 'Hossam' finds himself a stranger in his glass kingdom. He grew up between gray walls that know no embrace, and parents who excelled at erecting skyscrapers and failed to build a single bridge to their only son's heart. His childhood was a stifled scream in a gleaming marble corridor, where his dreams of football then flight shattered before the wall of emotional neglect that did not notice even his weak eyesight until it was too late. When the mind refuses reality, it begins creating its own truths. And in the moment his dream of soaring in the sky went out, 'Hala' was born from the womb of darkness—a luminous being Hossam saw with a clarity no one had ever seen him with before. Not merely a girl, she is absolute acceptance and the homeland he did not find on earth. She accompanies him in his quiet café corner, shares his silent coffee, and grants him the oxygen needed to survive a world of 'sterile absence.' 'A Halo of Light' is.
