Alice grew up with her mother’s voice in her head: „Mama said I ain’t that pretty.“

Alice Sutterland ran from Dry Creek, from her mother’s bitterness, from Coley, from the girl she used to be. But some hungers don’t die just because you change cities.  They learn your new address.

Only in My Shadow is a raw, dark, Southern-noir story about damage and the dangerous lies we tell ourselves to stay alive. A book about a woman who knows she should move on, but can’t stop looking back at the fire that made her.
