THE RIVETING NEW NOVEL
BY NICOLE T. SMITH
we have shadows too
to guard
a secret
remember
there isn't one.
Truth vs. Illusion
Memories are never entirely silent. They murmur in your cells, shadow the mind, and knock at the door.
Rella Cooper is a thirty-eight-year-old successful architect with a bright future. She’s a sensitive soul with a youthful spirit, who still wears braids in her hair. Establishing a life in sunny southern California, she’s left behind the shadows of where she grew up.
But whispers rustle in the recesses of her mind. Confronted with the truth about her mother’s abusive childhood, her sister raises the possibility that perhaps something happened to Rella, too.
Refusing to believe she could have blocked out memories, and against her better judgement, Rella visits a practitioner, where shocking information is revealed. Completely destabilized, Rella’s sanity spirals out of control.
In an attempt to regain the life she once knew, Rella seeks out help, only to be hit with a staggering revelation which will change how she looks at herself, and the world, forever.
Concealed memories are unclaimed baggage, going around and around in the terminal of the mind.

Respectfully told, this gently laid out story reveals ways the mind might defend itself and that it doesn't have to be undone to free the soul.

The writing style is so real, when I put the book down for a moment, I had to realign myself with who I am and where I am.
...the pages kept turning!

...a chilling subject matter and a challenging read ... ... should secrets remain hidden in the shadows or be exposed?
