📖 Story Description - My Mother's Shadow In a town where silence is tradition and fear is inheritance, a young girl grows up believing she is protecting her mother's livelihood. The motel they run hides more than tired travelers - it hides broken girls, stolen childhoods, and secrets no one dares to name. Loyal to the woman she calls mother, she helps sustain a system that trades innocence for survival, never questioning its origin. What she does not know is that her life began as a punishment. Sold as a child. Raised in darkness. And born from the courage of a woman who once stood alone against forced marriages, cruelty, and tradition - a woman whose voice was silenced but whose shadow still lingers. As truths slowly unravel, one question remains: Can someone raised by evil escape the shadow of a mother she never knew?
