Scared and Alone

Scared and Alone is the powerful true-to-heart journey of a little girl growing up in silence, watching her mother suffer, and learning to survive where love was supposed to live. Through broken glass and bruised mornings, Kari learned how to hide — in closets, in her own mind, behind a smile. But her voice, though buried, never truly disappeared. Told with raw honesty and quiet strength, this book follows her from the shadows of domestic violence to the discovery of her own healing power. Shawn, both a daughter and survivor, brings her real-life experience into every page. Scared and Alone is not just a story — it’s a lifeline. For every child who whispered instead of screamed. For every mother who stayed. For every survivor still learning to breathe again. You are not alone. You are not broken. You are becoming.
