Behind The Mirror

Behind the Mirror asks: What if the version of you holding it all together... is the one you finally need to leave behind?

This is therapeutic fiction at its core-where emotional healing collides with high-functioning burnout, generational trauma, and a fourth marriage on the brink.

Julie Sloan spent her life performing: a polished professional, a chronic overfunctioner, and a master of pretending things were fine. Wife of the year? Not exactly. More like emotionally unavailable in heels.

After a near-breakdown in her fourth marriage, she hits a truth she can't ignore: she's spent her whole life chasing love and worthiness-because deep down, she never believed she was enough.

It wasn't betrayal that shook her. It was the quiet realization that she'd never truly lived for herself.

What follows isn't a breakdown-it's a breakthrough. The kind of literary fiction that awakens us, dismantling survival patterns and making space for raw, messy, deeply human truths.

Now, years later, Julie has the life everyone applauds: a thriving nonprofit, a glowing reputation, and the whole redemption arc. But when a journalist comes knocking, Julie tells the story she's never shared-the one about how she stopped abandoning herself to keep everyone else comfortable.

For anyone who's ever looked like they had it all together while quietly falling apart-for those who've felt not good enough, not lovable enough, not enough-this novel is women's fiction with depth: real, relatable, and redemptive.

More than a story, Behind the Mirror is literary fiction with therapeutic insight-an invitation for readers drawn to novels of emotional self-discovery, trauma healing, and awakening.

For fans of Cheryl Strayed, Elizabeth Gilbert, and Glennon Doyle.
