Consumed by the mistake that ruined his life, Jared shields his depression with the impeccable support from his best friend, Stan - someone who's saved him from suicide, knows how to listen, and who's always been there... just waiting to be fed; Stan never offers much advice, he's rather the love-hate type of friend, with whiskers. But the voice of reason is a world more challenging, and her name is Eloise. She's a cat-loving bookworm with a passion for starting over, new in town from California, and she's making him forget that he ever had a past. It's a fresh start for both until she questions his story, soon to discover an awful truth much worse than imagined. A PORTRAIT FOR SHY is a twist-riddled narration of undying love in the wake of tragedy, a new-adult/crossover contemporary. *Mature content novel.
