Pepper Faye & the Shapes of Truth

By: Pepper Carlson-Humphrey

In a world that rewards motion, Pepper Faye can’t stop running, even when her heart is breaking. But deep in the Forest Between, everything stills. The wind softens. The trees pause. And the forest whispers a truth she’s never dared believe: you were never meant to earn your worth.

Guided by gentle guardians and the wisdom of her own body, Pepper begins to unlearn the hustle. She rests. She listens. She remembers how to simply be. In stillness, she discovers a new kind of truth—not loud or shiny, but rooted, ancient, and quietly radiant.

A tender, soul-soothing story for anyone who’s forgotten that rest is sacred, and that healing doesn’t need a deadline.
