From Sonam Gadia, author of the bestselling When the Moon Naps and Rainbows Smile and founder of the literary brand Pen O Pause, comes a poignant novella about secrets, memories, and the silent stories of girlhood.From Crayons to Lipstick is set in the misty hills of Kalimpong, where the corridors of St. Joanna's Convent Boarding School hold more than just echoes of laughter-they hold whispers of the past. At the heart of the story is Ariana, a girl like many others, yet profoundly altered by the secrets she uncovers.When Ariana stumbles upon a series of mysterious letters signed only by "S," her search for answers leads her through hidden histories, faded friendships, and unspoken truths. Why do some memories linger while others are erased? What lies beneath the silence that surrounds her school's past?This isn't just a coming-of-age story-it's a haunting exploration of adolescence, rebellion, and the resilience it takes to seek the truth. As an educator, mentor, and traveler, Sonam believes in the power of pause-to reflect, to connect, and to tell the stories that shape us. Deeply inspired by her own schooling in Kalimpong, Sonam writes with reverence for the friendships and life lessons that continue to live in her heart.If you've ever carried a memory in silence, longed to understand your past, or questioned what was left unsaid-From Crayons to Lipstick will speak to you.Buy your copy today and uncover the stories we often leave behind-but never forget.
