Author Description

Fear of Shadows is the unforgettable true story of a young girl growing up in the grip of her father’s violence and her mother’s unshakable will to protect her children. From nights spent in shelters to fleeting moments of joy with friends, Tanya’s childhood was a balancing act between terror and survival. With raw honesty and heart, Tanya takes readers inside the hidden corners of abuse, the strength of sisterhood, and the quiet courage it takes to dream of freedom. Both heartbreaking and inspiring, Fear of Shadows is a memoir about resilience, love, and the long fight to break free from the darkness.
