Shadow’s Edge

In the spirit of Andrea Bartz’s We Were Never Here, and Julia Heaberlin’s We Are All the Same in the Dark; Shadow’s Edge is a story about the secrets we bury, the restorative power (and danger) of love, and above all, how breaking the silence may just be the secret to regaining what once was lost. “Riveting from the very first page, Shadow’s Edge is the harrowing yet hopeful story of a writer who reluctantly returns to her hometown to care for her niece, only to discover an inner strength she never knew she possessed.” -Camille Pagán, bestselling author of Everything Must Go
