The Glittering Cage sample

Maya Jenkins thought she was chasing success. With a dream board full of luxury, a growing social media following, and invitations to influencer events, it seemed she was finally stepping into the life she always wanted. But the more she climbed the ladder of online fame, the more distant her faith, friendships, and sense of self became. As likes multiply and collaborations roll in, Maya begins to wonder: is she building a future—or losing herself in a glittering trap? Set against the backdrop of college ambition, curated perfection, and quiet spiritual hunger, The Glittering Cage is a soul-searching Christian novel about comparison, identity, and the courage to break free from everything that shines but does not satisfy.
