Robert James Waller Climbing Shadows

Book 2 in the Resilience and Renewal series Not all shadows stay in the past. Some must be claimed before they disappear. After years of running from the trauma of an abusive relationship, Mira finds herself at a crossroads. Coaxed by her closest friend into joining the Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge, she embarks on a journey that's as much about healing as it is about endurance. As each peak pushes Mira to her limits, she begins to confront the pain she's long buried - rediscovering her strength and voice with every step. But she's not alone in her climb. Natalie battles crippling self-doubt. Osman hides the complexities of his identity behind charm and confidence. And Louise carries a silent grief no one sees. Together, they face not only the unforgiving terrain, but the inner mountains they've each tried to ignore. What awaits at the summit isn't just a view, but the hope of connection, renewal, and the power of reclaiming your own path. Climbing Shadows is a moving, atmospheric tale of survival, friendship, and the quiet, profound strength found in choosing to rise.
