In this powerful and moving memoir, a young woman grapples with the legacy of her father's abuse and addiction, and her own struggles with mental illness. Through her journey of self-discovery and healing, she finds the strength to break free from the shadows of the past and forge her own path.

Growing up in the shadow of her father's abuse and addiction, the author struggled to find her own identity. She was constantly defined by her father's actions, and she felt like she was always living in his shadow. As she got older, she began to realize that she was not alone in her struggles. Many children of abuse and addiction suffer from similar issues. They may feel like they are not good enough, they may have difficulty forming relationships, and they may struggle with mental illness.
