Still Singing In The Shadows

Still Singing in the Shadows is the inspiring memoir of Evelyn Nelson — a woman whose voice refused to be silenced despite a childhood marked by trauma, abandonment, and deep emotional wounds. From the shadows of the foster care system to the light of spiritual purpose, Evelyn's story is a powerful testimony to the healing power of faith, music, and resilience.
Born to a murdered mother and a father lost to violence, Evelyn entered the foster system with six siblings, all separated. Instead of growing up in a loving home, she endured emotional abuse, rejection, and silence. But even in the darkest corners of her life, she discovered an inner hum — a melody that kept rising despite the chaos around her.
In this deeply personal narrative, Evelyn shares her journey as "Silver Streak Lady," her artist name and identity born not from fame but from survival. She chronicles her transformation from a quiet, wounded girl into a prophetic voice of healing — guided by divine encounters, powerful mentors, and spiritual revival.
Each chapter is laced with truth, sorrow, triumph, and the silver streaks of hope that shine through pain. Evelyn's story reminds readers that even those who grow up in the shadows still have a song worth singing. Her strength is contagious, her faith unshakable, and her voice — both literal and literary — is one that will linger in your heart long after the final page.
This memoir is for anyone who has ever felt unseen, unheard, or unworthy. It's for survivors. For foster children. For the spiritually wounded. And for those longing to believe again.
Still Singing in the Shadows is Book One in the Faith in the Shadows Series — a movement of truth-telling, restoration, and courage. Through this work, Evelyn invites you to remember that even in silence, even in sorrow, God still hears. And so can the world — when you find the courage to sing.
