Monster in my head

Bol

¿"I used to wear yellow. Every single day. I thought if I looked like sunshine, no one would see the monster in my head."¿To her parents and her classmates, sixteen-year-old Elara is a success story. She is polite, studious, and draped in the bright, cheery wool of her signature yellow sweaters. But the sweater is a mask, hiding the "nothingness" that is slowly erasing her from the inside out.¿Behind closed doors, Elara is fighting a war on two fronts. One is against the "Monster"-a cold, rhythmic voice in her head that whispers she is a burden. The other is against the suffocating silence of a family secret involving her Uncle Rick-a secret she carries to protect the people she loves.¿When the weight of the silence becomes too heavy to breathe, Elara is forced to make a choice: vanish into the shadows forever, or find the courage to speak the truth that could shatter her world.¿From the quiet isolation of 3:00 AM to the raw honesty of a hospital ward, Monster in My Head is an unflinching look at depression, recovery, and the power of breaking the silence. It is a story for the voiceless, a tribute to those still fighting, and a reminder that even the deepest darkness can be broken by a single, honest word.¿Content & Resource Information¿CONTENT NOTE: This novel is a work of fiction intended for Young Adult and Adult readers.
