In The Shadow Of The Doubt

About the Story...

There's always that moment when you stare into the mirror and wonder if you'll ever be enough. For Sylpha, that moment comes almost every day. With her pimples, bushy eyebrows, and awkward bunny teeth, she feels like she's always in the background-especially when compared to her best friend, Almira, the perfect girl who seems to have it all.

Things take a turn when the guy Sylpha has secretly liked for years, Seth Adrian Monteverde, asks Almira out on a date. Suddenly, Sylpha's insecurities come crashing down harder than ever. She's always been the quiet, invisible girl, but now, the sting of being second best is harder to ignore.

As Sylpha navigates high school life, friendships, and the feeling of being overshadowed, she's forced to face her deepest doubts about herself. Can she ever step out of the shadows of her own insecurities? And will she ever realize that she is enough, even if no one else seems to notice?

In the Shadow of the Doubt is a heartfelt coming-of-age story about self-acceptance, friendship, and the journey of discovering your worth in a world that sometimes makes you feel invisible.
