Me and My Shadow, Tara's Story

by Tara Mondou

Overview

From the Author of "Little Girl in the Mirror", comes the continuation of four generations of women finding their way to each other on a journey through innocence, acknowledgment, understanding, love, and ultimately, forgiveness.

 

Cathy Barron, the "Little Girl in the Mirror", finally breaks free from the horrible Mrs. Wrenn and now, twenty years later, the story continues with Cathy's daughter, Tara—a beyond-her-years bright young girl who is now old enough to spend summers in Stratford with her grandmother, Rita. At the end of every visit, Tara becomes aware of growing tension between her mother and her grandmother; the two women she loves the most. Behind closed doors, her mom shares stories of her miserable childhood, but Gramma denies them all.

 

Tara desperately wants to know why her mom is so angry at Gramma, but the more questions Tara asks, the more shadowy the answers become.

 

Afraid of what might happen if her family falls apart, Tara is determined to fix their relationship. But first she needs to find out what happened all those years ago…

About the Author

Growing up, Tara fell in love with the stories she was told about her mother, grandmother and great grandmother. As the women she loved passed away, she knew she had to keep their memories alive for her own daughters, by putting pen to paper and writing their stories.

In 2016, Tara Mondou published her first novel, “Little Girl in the Mirror, Cathy’s Story”.

In 2022, she published the companion novel, “Me and My Shadow, Tara’s Story”.

Tara co-founded a writers’ support group called Cambridge Authors; was the 2018 recipient of the Bernice Adams Memorial Award for Communication/Literary Arts; volunteers as the Public Relations Director for Guitars for Kids Waterloo Region, and is the Chair of the Board at the Waterloo Regional Block Parent® Program.

Tara often travels back to Cape Breton where it all began. She is fascinated by her family history, and while walking the windy cliffs high above the Atlantic Ocean, finds inspiration to write her next book.

Tara lives in the historic West Galt area of Cambridge, Ontario with her husband and their two daughters.
