Shadows & Spotlights
(2025)(The second book in the Montclair Family Saga series)
A novel by Dianne Harman
From Emmy-winning costume designer to premature motherhood in a foreign country—Kate Montclair's carefully planned life is about to be tested in ways she never imagined.
When Kate follows her fiancé Ben to Madrid for his film project, she expects four months of creative collaboration and European adventure. Instead, at twenty-four weeks pregnant, she goes into premature labor, launching a terrifying fight for her daughter's survival in a Spanish hospital thousands of miles from home.
As Kate navigates NICU vigils and the challenges of new motherhood, her family faces their own reckonings:
Her mother, Victoria, makes a stunning archaeological discovery while filming in Papua New Guinea—one that could solve aviation's greatest mystery or destroy her artistic integrity.
Her older brother, Alexander, wages war against Hollywood's power structure with a controversial series that threatens to destroy his family's company, even as he questions whether truth is worth the cost.
And her younger brother, Noah, has a panic attack on live television, forcing him to choose between the superhero franchise that made him famous and the authentic life he desperately needs.
Separated by continents but connected by crisis, the Montclairs must each decide what matters most: career ambitions or family bonds, public image or private truth, professional success or personal fulfillment.
A powerful exploration of family, ambition, and the courage it takes to live authentically in an industry built on illusion.
Shadows and Spotlights is the second book in The Montclair Trilogy, continuing the story of a family navigating fame, creativity, and the complex relationships that define who we become.
