Walking Within the Shadows offers the reader a view of a number of issues that young adults encounter, many controversial and many that have to be faced with little or no help from their peers or from real-life experiences. Annabelle Jackson is at an even greater disadvantage; she has been home-schooled and lived as a recluse, very isolated for most of her teen years, without a single friend to ever confide in other than Carly, her secret friend who resides within her. The issues Annabelle faces vary over a wide range of what young adults are faced with today. In an increasingly complex society where everyone is seemingly scrutinized by their appearance as well as their capabilities, Annabelle is forced to go it on her own and decide for herself; she realizes she must escape her trap, her bedroom, her isolation and reclusive, mundane existence and what she considers as her very mediocre middle-class life and to walk out of the shadows and ultimately, to grasp the excitement this new life with her new-found friend, Sicilia, offers her.
