Girl Unknown - C. Orville McLeish

Résumé :
It's been a long time since I couldn't put a book down. This is one I will think about for a long time. - Amazon Reviewer Chloe Cleopatra Taylor has always felt like a shadow in her own life. Born into a broken home, with a father presumed dead and a mother drowning in alcohol and drugs, Chloe copes by dressing in black, hiding behind sarcasm, and pouring her pain into stories no one reads. By day she works menial jobs. By night she dreams of becoming a writer-and of escaping a past she can't fully remember. When a mysterious figure who looks like her father begins appearing in the corners of her life, the line between reality and imagination starts to blur. Strange occurrences, vivid dreams, and buried memories push Chloe toward questions she's avoided for years. Who was her father really? What happened the night he died? And why does her mother panic whenever Chloe gets close to the truth? As Chloe's world unravels, a gentle but persistent presence enters her life through James, the pastor's son who refuses to give up on her. His quiet faith and steady love introduce her to a God who sees beyond the darkness she wears on the outside-and calls to the wounded girl underneath. But healing won't come without revelation. To move forward, Chloe must dig into the secrets her mother has buried-secrets tied to addiction, abuse, and a devastating choice that changed both their lives forever. The deeper she goes, the more she realizes that her entire existence may rest on a truth too painful to face. Girl Unknown is a raw, emotionally charged Christian coming-of-age novel that explores: ? The long shadow of trauma, addiction, and abortion ? The struggle for identity, worth, and belonging ? The relentless grace of God that pursues us through our darkest stories If you enjoy gritty, hope-filled Christian fiction with a touch of the supernatural-stories where broken people meet a God who redeems what seems beyond repair-then Chloe's journey will stay with you long after you turn the last page.
