ebook "Mirage"

"Mirage" tells the poignant story of Lina, a 12-year-old girl whose childhood is marked by domestic violence and school bullying. Her father, an alcoholic and violent man, regularly abuses her and her mother, while her mother, fragile and desperate, tries to escape her own pain through dangerous medications. In this oppressive environment, Lina grows up surrounded by fear, suffering, and isolation, developing an extraordinary vigilance and maturity at an early age to try and survive.

At school, Lina faces cruel classmates who constantly bully her. Insults, taunts, and harassment become her daily life. She feels misunderstood, alone, and helpless, but these trials also fuel her determination. Over time, Lina realizes that fear alone is no longer enough: she must learn to defend herself and take control of her life.

At the heart of this dark narrative, Lina gradually discovers an inner strength and impressive resilience. She develops strategies to retaliate against her oppressors, while remaining cautious and intelligent in her actions. This journey is as much psychological as it is strategic: Lina transforms her anger and pain into constructive energy, learning to protect her boundaries and identify trustworthy people around her.
