Shadow Girl: Voices out of Silence
No Customer Reviews
If Bridget Galloway could choose a superpower, it would be invisibility. But life in Bridget's world, has no superheroes.
It's midnight. Bridget is spending her sixteenth birthday at the local cemetery-the only place free from the brutal bullying of her alcoholic father. Alone and friendless she is known at school as Shadow Girl. Why did her mother leave? The mystery deepens when it is discovered that another woman wrote the cards and letters. Then a body is found in the bushland near the Galloway house. For the truth to be revealed, there are mishaps, mistakes, and a town of unconventional characters: a fashion designer in hiding, a dope-head brother, a curious city cop, a gossipy Mayor's wife, a lost old lady and two sassy teenage girls who introduce Bridget to real friendship. A companion book to Scarlett doesn't live here anymore. Shadow Girls reaches honestly into the issue of family abuse and intimate partner violence and the courage it takes to escape and find voice. There are two glossaries in the book that contain all the terminology and definitions necessary for violence, abuse and also the modern dating terms such as ghosting, gaslighting and stalking.
