Lizzie has lived her entire life in her parents’ shadow. When her sister is found dead and the police close the case as suicide, everyone accepts the comfortable narrative, everyone but Lizzie, who knows the difference between truth and the stories we tell ourselves to survive. This is not a story about justice. It’s a portrait of survival, of how we become unrecognizable to ourselves when we finally refuse to look away. Lizzie’s reckoning forces readers into uncomfortable proximity with the question: at what cost does truth demand payment? Stardust Angel is a haunting exploration of the fragile boundary between love and cruelty, where every family secret carries the weight of redemption. For readers of psychological literary thrillers seeking prose as layered and uncompromising as their subject matter.
