Still Standing

In Still Standing, a young man leaves behind the familiar warmth of his village and family, chasing education and a better future in a cold, indifferent city. But the reality awaiting him is far from what he imagined: days without food, nights without rest, and an invisible war with loneliness and despair. As he struggles to survive, he must also learn to grow — not just academically, but emotionally, spiritually, and morally.

Told in a deeply human voice, Still Standing explores the hidden costs of ambition, the quiet power of resilience, and the strength it takes not just to succeed — but to endure. With poignant emotion and powerful realism, this novel reminds us that sometimes, just remaining on your feet is the greatest victory of all.
