Her debut memoir, The Other Victims, was born from the necessity of silence—a silence she kept for decades while living in the shadow of a family member’s public fall from grace. Writing from the unique and often overlooked perspective of the "collateral damage," Isabel explores the complex intersection of love, betrayal, and the grueling process of reclamation.
Isabel’s work is grounded in "emotional truth." She believes that while legal records tell one story, the hearts of those left behind tell another. Her writing seeks to bridge that gap, offering a hand to those who have felt erased by the crimes of others or who have struggled to claim their own right to be hurt.
Choosing to write under a pseudonym to protect the privacy of her family and the integrity of their shared history, Isabel lives in Australia. She finds solace in the Australian landscape, the rhythmic nature of domestic life, and the belief that even the most fractured stories deserve to be told with grace.
When she isn’t writing, she is a mother and a professional, dedicated to the idea that we are not defined by what has been done to us, or by those we love, but by the truth we choose to live today.
