Childhood dreams are meant to soar, but some crash before they ever take flight.
David grew up on the outskirts of Hope, British Columbia, where the woods were endless, the nights were restless, and the sky held more than just stars. Torn between childhood wonder and the weight of a troubled home, he learned early that survival sometimes meant escaping into his own world.
But something else was watching.
As David navigates the chaos of family, love, heartbreak, and military life, the mysteries of his past and the eerie encounters of his youth refuse to fade. Beneath the silence of small-town life, something lingers, waiting for him to notice.
Inspired by true events, Paper Planes and Falling Stars is a fact based fiction novel drawn from the author’s life, a journey through memory, mystery, and the things we can’t quite explain.
