The Echoes Of Paris

She dresses her pain in silk blazers, balances grief with spreadsheets, and holds love and loss in the same heart. To the outside world, Paris is the definition of a woman who has it all together. She's the polished professional, the unstoppable mother, the friend who always answers with laughter. They admire her sharpness. They envy her success.What they don't see are the nights she sits in silence, suffocating under a weight that has no name. They don't know about the heartbreaks she never spoke of, the ghost of childhood neglect that follows her into adulthood, or the broken promises of people who left her to hold the pieces alone.Hidden behind the glass doors of her office and the fluorescent lights of success, Paris has mastered the art of crying silently into paper towels between meetings. But masks crack. Armor slips. And when the panic finally takes her breath, Paris hits a breaking point that forces her to face a terrifying truth: survival means taking off the mask.Written under the pen name Kee Banks, The Echoes of Paris is a raw, sensual, and deeply intimate journey of a woman learning that she is not broken-she is just fully sharpened, working to become whole again.
