Celine’s life is spiraling out of control. She’s in danger of losing the beloved equestrian farm that was her childhood home. Her distant husband, Eric, is devoting a suspicious amount of time to a stunning new colleague. Then her young son, Brian, receives a devastating cancer diagnosis. As her life falls apart, she faces an impossible fight

Felicity has uprooted her career and her teenage son, Justin, to get closer to Eric. She’s tired of keeping his secrets―that Eric’s frequent “business trips” have been time spent with her and Justin. Felicity is determined to get her happily ever after, even if it means confronting Celine at a delicate time.

But when Brian’s prognosis worsens, and a transplant from Justin becomes his best chance at survival, Felicity must make a wrenching decision about her son’s well-being―and Celine must accept that the “other woman” is her only hope.

In another life Celine and Felicity might have been friends. Can they put aside the pain between them to do what’s best for their families―and their own futures?

Sejal Badani’s The Sun’s Shadow is a gripping novel about resilience, unexpected alliances, and the strength found in life’s most challenging moments. With deep emotional stakes and complex relationships, the story explores love, betrayal, and the power of forgiveness in ways that feel raw and deeply human.

Badani’s storytelling shines as she navigates the intricacies of family, sacrifice, and the blurred lines between right and wrong. With rich characters and a compelling narrative, this book is perfect for fans of emotionally charged women’s fiction and family dramas. A poignant reminder that even in life’s darkest moments, hope and healing can emerge.
