Collateral Damage

In a quiet village shaped by dust, routine, and endurance, a mother and father build their days around their young son.

Life is measured in bread shared, shoes tied too tightly, lessons practiced on slates and in courtyards. Tomorrow is something they prepare for carefully, one small act at a time.

When the father sets out on a long journey to bring home simple gifts for his child, the household continues in his absence. Days pass. Work is done. The return is imagined.

Love takes the form of patience.
Hope lives in ordinary things.

Collateral Damage follows one family as they live, dream, and plan for the future, unaware of how fragile that future truly is.

Told in spare, lyrical prose, the novel bears witness to lives lived far from power, headlines, and decisions, and to the human cost when those lives are altered without warning.

For readers of Khaled Hosseini, Cormac McCarthy, and Jhumpa Lahiri, Collateral Damage is a devastating and compassionate exploration of parenthood, love, and the quiet moments that shape a life before everything changes.
