Publisher's Synopsis
Shattered Reflections: Healing from Narcissistic Abuse
A Survivor's Story of Escape, Recovery, and Rebirth
What happens when the person who claims to love you slowly erases your sense of self?
In Shattered Reflections, one woman traces her harrowing journey through the subtle and devastating world of narcissistic abuse-from a rural childhood marked by silence, to a toxic relationship with a charming older man, to a life rebuilt one brave step at a time.
Told in alternating chapters of raw narrative and psychological analysis, this powerful memoir not only reveals how abuse unfolds behind closed doors, but also explains why it works-and how survivors can reclaim their truth.
From emotional manipulation and gaslighting to isolation, trauma bonding, and spiritual recovery, Shattered Reflections offers a rare combination of lived experience and hard-earned wisdom. Each chapter ends with clarity, compassion, and hope-for the reader still in the relationship, the one who just left, or the one still picking up the pieces years later.
This is not just a story of what was broken.
It's a guide to what can be rebuilt.
If you've ever questioned your reality, doubted your voice, or wondered if healing is even possible-this book is for you.
