Where Worlds Split Under the Moonlight is a breathtaking collection of short stories exploring the emotional, cultural, and spiritual turning points young characters face as they move through the world and the worlds within themselves.Blending contemporary realism with Afrocentric philosophy, ancestral memory, and the echoes of Caribbean and Taíno heritage, I brought together narratives that felt both intimate and otherworldly. Each story reveals a moment when identity fractures, truth erupts, or a character must confront the shadows they've tucked away. Under moonlight, the symbol of intuition and revelation, their hidden worlds open.Some characters wrestle with grief, self-doubt, generational silence, or the weight of expectations.Others encounter symbolic visions, spiritual reminders, or quiet forces guiding them toward a deeper understanding of who they are.All of them stand at a crossroads between past and present, self and shadow, fear and liberation.With striking voice, cultural depth, and emotional honesty, "Where Worlds Split Under the Moonlight" captures the complexity of Black youth across the African diaspora: their triumphs, wounds, courage, and resilience. My stories unfold like whispered truths, gentle, powerful, and unforgettable.Perfect for readers who love short story collections that merge heart and spirit, this book is ideal for young adults, new adults, and anyone drawn to diaspora-centered fiction, magical realism, Black literary voices, and culturally rooted storytelling.Lyrical, healing, and boldly authentic, this debut collection invites readers to step into the places where our internal worlds split and where we finally learn to see ourselves in full.
