Shadows and Sunlight

A Memoir of Survival, Silence, and Becoming
by Savanna St Jean

A True Story of Pain, Healing, and the Strength to Rise

From the age of two, Eliza’s life was fractured by betrayal no child should ever face. Abuse. Abandonment. Loss. Her world was shaped by silence and survival, not safety. For years, she existed in the shadows, unseen, unheard, and fighting to hold on.

But this isn’t just a story of trauma. It’s a story of becoming.

Through unfiltered honesty, Eliza invites you into her world of broken families, painful truths, and the slow, brave road to healing. She explores how trust is rebuilt, how motherhood transforms, and how real love, whether from a partner or a friend, can light the way home.
