The shadows beneath my name
The Shadows Beneath My Name
At just 20 years old, Patience Adeyemi had her life neatly arranged—second-year university student, raised in a loving Christian home, and engaged to the man she believed was sent from heaven. But everything crumbles in one night.
On her birthday, Patience discovers the unthinkable: she’s adopted.
Before she can make sense of this revelation, an even deeper wound is uncovered—her fiancé, the man she trusted most, has been keeping secrets that cut through her like a knife.
Suddenly, the people she called family become strangers. The love
she built her dreams on turns to dust. As heartbreak collides with academic pressure, peer influence, and a crisis of faith, Patience begins to lose her sense of identity and belonging.
But in the silence of her shattered world, she begins to hear another voice—the still, healing voice of God.
As long-buried truths come to light and pain gives way to purpose, Patience must decide: will she allow her brokenness to define her? Or will she embrace the deeper truth that her identity is not in bloodlines or broken promises—but in the One who never lies?
Shadows Beneath My Name is a stirring Christian fiction tale of betrayal, discovery, and the redemptive power of grace.
