For the Man I Became
By Sumir Novinda
"Not every boy is raised. Some grow by learning how to stay."
Kanna was never taught how to become a man.
Abandoned before birth, raised in silence, and shaped by longing, his life unfolds not through triumph — but through presence. From a childhood woven with absence to the sacred mentorship of his grandfather, from forbidden love to spiritual awakening, this is the quiet story of a soul who did not seek salvation... but slowly, deliberately, became it.

For the Man I Became is not a tale of success.
It is a soft reckoning. A deep breath. A whispered return to the boy we often forget to raise — the one within ourselves.

In this poetic and emotionally meditative debut, Sumir Novinda delivers more than fiction. She offers a mirror — to those healing from invisible wounds, learning how to sit with stillness, and discovering that peace isn't something you find...
It's someone you become.
