Moonlit Tides
In Moonlit Tides: Stories on the Long Way Home, Nikki B. Lizares crafts a tender narrative that spans the globe—from the sunlit coasts of Bacolod, where her journey begins, to the vast, starry savannahs of Africa and other far reaches of the world. Each story charts a course back to the roots that define her, echoing the cyclical path of the sea turtles native to her homeland, which instinctively return to their birthplace to nest.
This collection is thoughtfully structured into three sections: Emergence, The Lost Years, and Homecoming. Each part marks pivotal stages of Lizares’s life: from her early enchantment with the coral seas beneath Danjugan Island through her voyages around the globe in search of deeper connections to her meaningful return to her true home and to herself.
Moonlit Tides is an invitation to explore the currents of your own life, discovering along the way that no matter how far we roam, we are always homeward bound.
