Remembering Luna

Remembering Luna: The Girl Who Saved Me

I met her when I was fourteen, sitting alone at a pavilion, skipping school and already carrying more pain than most kids my age. She had long ruby-red hair that caught the sunlight like it was alive, and the saddest, most beautiful eyes I had ever seen.

Her name was Luna.

What started as two broken kids finding each other quickly became something deeper. She was my safe place. I became hers. While the world failed her-especially the father who abused her in every way imaginable-I tried to protect her the only way I knew how. We were just teenagers, but our love was real, raw, and intense. We laughed, we dreamed, we survived together.

Until the night everything changed.

At seventeen, we ran. We thought we could finally escape the nightmare she had lived in her entire life. But running came at a cost neither of us could have imagined. On a dark street in New York City, during what should have been our first steps toward freedom, I lost her forever.

This is not just a love story. It is a story of survival, guilt, and the kind of love that stays with you long after the person is gone. It is about the girl who saved me more times than I ever saved her-and the price we paid for trying to choose each other.

Remembering Luna is a heartbreaking true memoir of first love, unimaginable trauma, and the lifelong weight of "what if." For anyone who has ever loved someone so deeply that losing them changed who you are.

If you've ever loved someone you couldn't save, this book is for you.
