Residuum: The Records That Remain (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798185042045)

There are stories we are told about ourselves.

And then there are the records.

Elena has always known she was adopted. It was never hidden from her, never treated like a secret. But when she begins to look deeper-really look-into the documents surrounding her birth, something begins to shift.

Dates do not align. Names repeat where they shouldn't. Entire entries appear more than once, as if they belong to different lives... or the same one, rewritten.

At first, it feels like a clerical error.

Then it starts to feel intentional.

As Elena follows the trail through forgotten archives, sealed files, and records that were never meant to be opened, she begins to realize that adoption was never just about placement. It was about selection.

About structure.

About something that does not forget.

And the deeper she goes, the more uncertain one question becomes:

Was she ever meant to belong anywhere... or was she always meant to remain?

In a story where identity is not fixed and memory cannot be trusted, Residuum: The Records That Remain explores what is left behind when everything else is rewritten.
