Shadows in the Mirror by Abagail Brown
Mistie escaped a past she'd mostly forgotten.
No one would go looking for her buried past if she lived up to her dreams.
Or so she believed.
Smoky tendrils wrapped the horrors she couldn't quite remember.
Flickering shadows crept through the mirror to bring her past to her present.
Nightmare generational abuse on a scale she never imagined.
Never knew she had been part of.
Didn't want in her past.
Or her future.
Secrets are twin sisters.
Whether fraternal, or identical, depends on the shadows dancing in the mirror.
Like mother, like daughter,
Goddess of the moon,
Selene watches over us,
Leaving Helen to carry on her task.
Patricia, Quin, and Eleanor,
Must find the missing ones,
To bring Selene's dream to pass.
The daughters returned -
Mistie, and another Patricia,
Home together, at last.

Quotes - Shadows In The Mirror
Mistie: "Liza, I'm not five. I realize secrets and lies are twin sisters, now whether identical or fraternal depends on the situation."
Fritz: "Sometimes it's those who aren't afraid who are in the most danger." Fritz looked at their faces. "We have no proof, only multiple people's suspicions. As long as she is careful and stays with friends, she will be safe. Have a good evening."
Mr. Gleam: "Think of it as acting for now. You have started on the road you know you will travel. You have met a pothole, and must play the role you left behind a bit longer. Watch the others. You may find a way to help them." He stood up and walked away.
South American cultural drug use expert:
"To be given the drugs once, or twice, and wake up feeling hot, sick, and wet did make them choose to find an answer. That is why they are in the victim box and not on trial. They realized that not only had their children been doped, but so had they. The shame is apparent on their faces. However, to fault them would be to fault society as well. We cannot protect ourselves from an enemy we do not suspect."
