In Her Shadow
A Novel of Survival, Resilience, and the Journey to Freedom
Yesenia has spent her entire life in her mother Lorraine’s shadow, enduring a world where love feels more like a prison than a refuge. To Lorraine, Yesenia’s every action, every breath, and every imagined illness feeds her insatiable need for control—a need Lorraine calls “protection.” But beneath her mother’s obsessive grip, Yesenia longs for a life beyond the walls that confine her.
When an unexpected ally steps forward, Yesenia dares to glimpse a future she never thought possible—a future where she is free to make her own choices, to find her voice, to build a life that is truly her own. Yet escaping Lorraine’s control is only the beginning. As Yesenia steps into an unfamiliar world, she must navigate the complexities of healing and self-discovery, facing her darkest fears to reclaim her identity and embrace her newfound freedom.
In Her Shadow is a gripping, poignant journey of courage, hope, and the unbreakable strength required to overcome a past defined by twisted love. In the face of overwhelming obstacles, Yesenia learns that the road to freedom is fraught with pain, but it leads to a light she never thought she’d find.
