Living in Her Shadow
Living in Her Shadow
For as long as she can remember, she has been invisible — a name forgotten, a voice overlooked — living in the radiant glow of her best friend, Christabel. With fair skin, hazel eyes, and cascading wavy curls, Christabel is effortlessly captivating. Everyone wants to know her. Everyone wants to be her. And standing beside her all these years has turned her into a ghost.
But something is changing.
After years of shrinking herself to fit into the margins of someone else’s story, she begins to step away — quietly at first, then boldly. As she navigates a world where she’s no longer just the girl “next to Christabel,” she discovers a voice of her own, an identity worth seeing, and the painful truth that sometimes friendship and jealousy can live side by side.
Living in Her Shadow is a deeply personal coming-of-age story about self-discovery, quiet rebellion, and the fight to be seen — not as someone’s sidekick, but as a main character in your own life.
