The Sun's Shadow

By Sejal Badani

From the bestselling author of The Storyteller's Secret comes an unflinching exploration of betrayal, forgiveness, and the healing power of a second chance.

Celine's life is spiraling out of control. She's in danger of losing the beloved equestrian farm that was her childhood home. Her distant husband, Eric, is devoting a suspicious amount of time to a stunning new colleague. Then her young son, Brian, receives a devastating cancer diagnosis. As her life falls apart, she faces an impossible fight

Felicity has uprooted her career and her teenage son, Justin, to get closer to Eric. She's tired of keeping his secrets--that Eric's frequent "business trips" have been time spent with her and Justin. Felicity is determined to get her happily ever after, even if it means confronting Celine at a delicate time.

But when Brian's prognosis worsens, and a transplant from Justin becomes his best chance at survival, Felicity must make a wrenching decision about her son's well-being--and Celine must accept that the "other woman" is her only hope.

In another life Celine and Felicity might have been friends. Can they put aside the pain between them to do what's best for their families--and their own futures?

The Sun's Shadow

I have enjoyed previous releases from Sejal Badani. I was honored to have the chance to read their newest novel, The Sun's Shadow. I was far from being disappointed. I can not say how much I loved this book. This is one of those stories that will invoke a variety of emotions all throughout. I would advise others to keep their tissues handy at all times. They will thank me later. The author does a wonderful job in writing a story of difficult decisions, struggles, pain, and thought provoking. I was often wondering and asking myself, "what would I do?". It demonstrated the complexities of difficult relationships, struggles of moving past traumatic pasts, and the power of forgiveness. It was not a plot that I could have easily been able to predict and never knew what would happen from scene to scene. I did not want to stop turning the pages, continuing to turn the pages, and staying up late at night doing so. Overall, I thought it was a fabulous read. I had the pleasure of listening to the audio version of The Sun's Shadow. I believed the performances of the two narrators, Kate Rudd and Vanessa Johansson, were superb. They were a great addition to bringing the story to life. I am going to give The Sun's Shadow five stars. I believe readers who enjoy reading drama filled fiction will love it as much as me. I hope to have more novels in my hands from the talented author, Sejal Badani, in the future. I received a digital copy of Sejal Badani's The Sun's Shadow from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
