Sixteen year old Alice is living in the shadows: the shadow of her mother’s death, continued rejection by her father and her aunt’s coldness. Will she ever know happiness again? Can she get past her secret torture? Alice is struggling to cope with the death of her mother, after a long debilitating illness. Her father has shut her out of his life and her aunt is only worried about her next spa appointment, and the two are conspiring to send her away. Her angst is so deep it cuts like knife. Will she ever feel whole again? Chloe is the only person who truly understands and when she becomes pregnant, Alice must look inside to find the strength to get them both out of their downward spiral. With the help of John, the caring bookstore owner who provides Alice’s escape, the girls devise a plan to live a life that excludes their self-absorbed parents. When they meet Caleb, a struggling artist, he introduces them to the creative and inspiring world of shadowboxes. Filled with heart-wrenching scenes and characters you will never forget, Shadow Boxing is a story of loss and love. Alice and Chloe each have a story of teenage struggle and finding their place in the world. The ultimate triumph of these two determined teens is an inspiration. Set in the Annex neighbourhood of Toronto, the authentic and edgy dialogue will resonate with teens and their unique struggle to adulthood.
