Chasing Shadows is a heartfelt, gripping tale of resilience, friendship, and redemption in the face of overwhelming loss.

Fourteen-year-old Alex Griffin has never had it easy. Raised by a neglectful, addicted mother, he’s learned to survive on his own, scavenging for meals and hoping each day to avoid the notice of the school bullies who haunt his past and follow him into his new life. When he’s finally given a second chance at a new school, Alex discovers something he never expected: friends who see beyond his bruises and secrets.

With the support of his new friends Max and Shaun, Alex begins to reclaim parts of himself he thought were gone forever. Yet shadows of his past lurk around every corner, especially as his mother’s death forces him into a future without her but also, possibly, without the pain she left behind. Just as he begins to believe he might be safe, a new revelation threatens to unravel everything he's worked to rebuild.

In a journey that takes Alex through intense moments of vulnerability and courage, Chasing Shadows is a powerful exploration of healing, belonging, and the courage it takes to reach for the light after living in the dark.

Perfect for readers who love stories of personal growth, resilience, and the transformative power of friendship.
