HEART'S IN THE SHADOWS

Lila has always been the forgotten child, overshadowed by her parents' attention toward her half-siblings and younger brother. Despite her love and dedication, she is treated as little more than a servant in her own home-unseen, unheard, and unloved. Her spirit has been crushed by years of neglect, and she no longer trusts anyone.

But when a chance encounter with a boy named Leo, two years older than her, sparks an unlikely friendship, Lila begins to realize she may not be as alone as she thought. Leo becomes the big brother she's always wished for, slowly helping her heal from the wounds of her past and rediscover her worth. Through their bond, Lila learns to open up again, finding comfort in someone who truly cares.

As Lila and Leo's friendship deepens, their lives take different paths when Leo meets the love of his life, Mia. Through bittersweet moments, Lila watches him build a future while she carves out her own, finding solace in music and embracing the freedom that comes with reclaiming her sense of self.

Told from Lila's perspective, Lila's Journey is a heartfelt and emotional story about love, friendship, and the courage to rise from neglect. It's a tale of transformation, where hope and healing come from the most unexpected places, and where even the most forgotten can find their voice and purpose.
