More Than a Book — A Living Story
Truth, Dreams, and The Everythings In-Between follows Kaiveyah Forestier de Arellano — sharp, anxious, and seventeen — as she steps off a ship at Ellis Island and into the vast, indifferent machinery of a nation still finding its identity. She has a job waiting, an aunt in the Bronx, a handmade wardrobe, and a lucky brass mirror that has never lied to her.
What she does not have is any idea that the man who returns her mirror on the ship — David Zammit Damiano, mysterious, charming, and carrying secrets of his own — will change everything.
Set against the real historical backdrop of Puerto Rican citizenship debates, garment district labor strikes, and the underground networks of 1919 New York, this novelette is told in alternating voices — Kavi’s bright, witty urgency alongside David’s harder, more guarded perspective — weaving together into a love story that is as politically alive as it is deeply personal.
OveylandInc. transforms storytelling into a full experience — this book is the first entry in a series designed for readers, screens, and stages.
