From Within the Shadows

"Take your wretched memories and haunt another family. I choose peace and forgiveness!" Isabella's whole life has turned out to be a lie, a shattered image of bitterness, hatred, jealously, rage-and a quest for forgiveness. Everything she thought she knew about her family is wrong; they are nothing like she imagined. Isabella's mother, Adele, is a master of deception and manipulation who would say anything to keep Robert, Isabella's father, out of their lives. Isabella cannot believe that the man she remembers-a kind, sweet, and loving man-could ever do any of the horrible things her mother describes. What's more, she refuses to believe that Robert wants nothing more to do with his daughter. Adele blamed her husband for everything that was wrong in her life, but a daughter knows, deep in her truest heart, what is true. Isabelle decides to risk everything for the chance to see her father once more. She craves the comfort that only a father can offer and freedom from her mother's hatred and lies. Desperate to reconnect with her father, she takes the first steps to remove herself from her mother's control. But will the reward be worth the risk? Will she be able to uncover the real reasons for Adele's obsessive campaign of hatred-and what will she do with those answers if she gets them? She knows that her life may never be the same, but a daughter's resolve for the truth is unstoppable, no matter the cost.
