Condozilla: A Crash Course in Fighting Back

A scrappy fashion designer with no legal experience takes on a corrupt condo board to save her mother’s home—uncovering a web of greed, racism, and power plays hidden behind their polished façade.

When Clara’s mother faces the unthinkable—a predatory condo board threatening to seize her home over baseless charges—Clara steps into the fight of her life. With no legal training but armed with determination, she navigates a labyrinth of courtroom procedures, bureaucratic bullying, and systemic injustice to defend what’s right.

Condozilla is a gripping thriller, inspired by the author's own real-life underdog story that exposes the dark side of condo boards and the power imbalances they exploit. Through sleepless nights of research, courtroom battles, and unexpected allies, Clara transforms from a overwhelmed novice into a fierce advocate, proving that even the most daunting systems can be challenged.

Part legal thriller, part survival guide, this book is a rallying cry for anyone who’s ever felt outmatched by the system. With humour, heart, and unshakable resilience, Condozilla will inspire you to stand your ground—and fight back.
