Shadows From the Box

Love is complicated, and people are messy.

Some of the best lies we tell, are undoubtably the ones we tell ourselves, but when you read between the shadows there may be some truth there hidden in the cracks of time.

This is an all too familiar story of one multifaceted woman struggling to get through the harsh realities of modern dating, and finding her way back to herself after a wayward breakup that was long overdue.

Spiraling deeper into an abyss of her own making in what seems like a past life, while struggling to navigate a labyrinth of harrowing experiences and forbidden desires in her present reality, she discovers the cost of freedom is often entangled in darkness.

With each choice she makes, a new path is forged that threatens to expose another fragment of her soul. As the pieces fall away, lost to heartache and temptation, she is forced to adapt and confront the darkest corners of herself and the generational curse that lies within.

“Shadows From The Box” is a raw and personal story that takes place over the course of a decade in one woman’s life, where the boundaries of pleasure and pain become blurred. This story is but one like many others often untold.

A Note From the

“I really wanted to tell this story on my own terms, which is one reason I decided to self-publish. Since this is my debut novel, I really enjoyed the creative freedom with putting this story out there - without someone telling me to change it to fit the masses.

This is not a book for everyone, and it is certainly not a book for the masses. It is an intimate story about recovering from abuse and all those crazy-ass curve balls life throws at us sometimes. It is about not being ashamed to be a woman who is comfortable with her sexuality, while still figuring things out later in life. This poetically dark story is for all the women out there that are still trying to survive, and the ones still living with the aftermath.”
