From a childhood under Martial Law in the Philippines to the fractured beauty of building a new life in America, Shadows and Sunrises is a powerful debut memoir of shame, strength, and survival.

Sheilah Jane takes us through teen motherhood, cultural dislocation, and the quiet rituals that held her together-guided by the fierce, often unspoken wisdom of women who endured more than they ever shared.

Both intimate and shaped by history, Shadows and Sunrises is a love letter to those living in the in-between: the ache of diaspora, the echoes of dictatorship, and the unexpected grace of becoming whole.

For the girls who were told to keep quiet.

For the women who bled for their dreams.

For the men who labored in silence and called it love.

For anyone who's ever carried more than their share-

and still found a way forward.
