Shadows of Nagaoka is an emotionally resonant novel about breaking free from generational trauma and redefining what healing means.
Yuki Tanaka grows up trapped in the fallout of her mother Keiko's untreated bipolar disorder, serving as both scapegoat and emotional anchor as her mother's life and marriages unravel. When Yuki escapes to Tokyo for university, she chooses survival over guilt and builds a life defined by love, purpose, and carefully drawn boundaries.
Years later, after Keiko finally receives treatment, mother and daughter are forced to confront the past and consider whether reconciliation is possible without erasing old wounds. Shadows of Nagaoka is a powerful story of resilience, forgiveness, and the courage it takes to protect the life you've fought to build.
