Lifeline to Marionette

A lonely childhood, a haunted past, a secret, and a life controlled by others—she is a woman at the end of her rope, without hope. 

Alaina Michelle Sekovich is the daughter of Europe’s most famous living composer. Once his prodigy, they are now estranged. To the world, she is Michelle Seko, a multimedia star and valuable asset of the film and fashion industries. 

Michelle was a gifted yet troubled child who sought only to flee the suffocating world of her father’s overbearing tutelage. She thought she could change her life by becoming someone else. But when her world becomes herself looking back at her and the face that is her own monster she does not know, she finds there is no place she can go, nowhere she can hide, because what she wants to escape from most is the one thing she can never truly be free of—herself. 

Lifeline to Marionette is a story about what life under a microscope can do to the soul. It is a story about a young woman whose every move is determined by the people who control her. Their strings are fine ut unbreakable, and they pull her painfully in opposing directions until she can no longer bear their tension.
