Stella McIntyre’s life is shattered after waking up in an unfamiliar hotel room with no memory of the night before.
The realization that she was sexually assaulted leaves her feeling defiled and alone, a trauma compounded by the discovery that she is pregnant. Desperate for safety, she flees Florida for her childhood home in the Endless Mountains of Pennsylvania. There, her father, a small-town pastor, welcomes his "prodigal daughter" with unconditional love and grace.
In Edinsville, Stella attempts to rebuild her life while struggling to reconcile her faith with the nightmare she endured. She finds an unexpected ally in Jason Duncan, an Army veteran recently returned from Iraq. Despite her paralyzing fear of being touched by men, Jason’s patient and protective nature begins to melt her defenses,. As Jason helps her prepare for her child, a quiet romance develops, offering Stella a glimpse of a future she thought was lost.
However, the sanctuary of the mountains is an illusion. Kyle Johnston, a man driven by a deadly obsession, has tracked Stella from Daytona. He believes she is a reincarnation of his deceased wife and will stop at nothing to "bring her home". His intrusion into her world escalates from watching her through binoculars to breaking into her home and eventually kidnapping her at gunpoint.
Thrust into the pitch-black tunnels of an abandoned coal mine, Stella must face her tormentor and her deepest fears. With her life and her newborn son’s future on the line, she discovers that her only true defense is a strength found in God.
*Shadowing Stella* is a gripping tale of trauma, obsession, and the power of faith in the face of unspeakable evil.
