Shades of Purple

When Amelia's sister Daria disappears without a trace, she's left with a mountain of questions-and custody of her seven-year-old nephew, Ivan. As a dedicated doctor and a woman of both Persian and Western heritage, Amelia's life was already a delicate balance of cultures, responsibilities, and expectations. Now, with Daria gone, that balance teeters on the edge of collapse.

On Ivan's first day at his new school, Amelia meets Yuki, a single father with a warmth and understanding she hasn't felt in years. Their connection is instant, a spark in the midst of her growing worries. But even as their bond deepens, Amelia is haunted by the mystery of Daria's disappearance. What could have driven her sister to leave? And, perhaps more terrifyingly-what secrets did she leave behind?

With Yuki by her side, Amelia must untangle the threads of love and loyalty while confronting shadows she never knew existed.
