er first breath, her life was already marked by loss. Growing up, she was confident that pain and grief would follow her forever, like shadows she'd never be able to outrun.

At 46, she found herself fresh out of a 24-year-long marriage, and grappling with a lifetime of sacrificed dreams and unresolved trauma. After years of drowning in sadness, she knew she had a decision to make. Her future could be an extension of her past - a series of painful moments as she awaited death - or she could finally reclaim her life.

Out From the Shadows: Invisible No More is a testament to what can happen when you show up for yourself, at any age, and how resilience and faith can lift the veil of darkness to reveal that when all seems lost, the best years of your life haven't even happened yet.

In Out From the Shadows, Cathey retells how she went from being a victim of circumstances to the author and conductor of her own happiness. Her journey toward true life fulfillment is a winding path full of joy, sorrow, grief, courage, and strength. Through an in-depth exploration of self, she revisits painful moments, from the loss of her mother and an unfulfilling marriage, to happy ones, like discovering the joy of motherhood, and the freedom found to become her own hero. Forced to reset at an age when many of us are finally settling in, her story is an inspiring testimony to the miracles that can happen when you decide your life is worth fighting for.
