"Fragments of Light" is a story about moments?the ones that slip through your fingers, the ones that stain your skin, the ones that make you whole. It's a book about childhood mischief and grown-up dreams, about painting a dog white just because it feels right, about falling in love with a city and realizing that love, in all its forms, is the greatest journey of all.

Through the innocent eyes of a child who once believed a German Shepherd could be an art project and the heart of an adult who walks the streets of Paris with the woman he loves, this book weaves a tapestry of laughter, wonder, and the bittersweet passing of time. From a grandmother's knowing smile to the twinkling lights of a Parisian night, from the scent of wet fur to the taste of an Italian dinner in the middle of France, every word is a step through a life lived fully, imperfectly, beautifully.

Because life is nothing more than a collection of stories we tell ourselves. And some stories?some moments?never fade.
