Orphan of the Shadows — Paula Minton
the elusive truth
Doubt and insecurity had haunted Alice Miller ever since, as a child, she had grown old enough to ask pointed questions about her parents.
She knew the stories she heard about her father weren't true--but all the evidence seemed to be against her.
And so it was with high hopes but a troubled heart that she undertook a pilgrimage to the past, a journey that took her almost halfway around the world and would end, she prayed desperately to believe, in an ultimate clearing away of shadows and an emergence into the purity of sunlight.
There would be many surprises, and many disappointments along the way, even before she reached that sinister chateau that sheltered the last grim secret. But Alice carried on . . . with courage, persistence-and one unexpected, exciting ally!
