Some children scream. Maya Sanders didn't.
At just seven years old, Maya is returned to a home filled with shadows-and when the system checks the boxes, she says nothing. Not because she's okay. Because she knows silence is safer.
When Maya is placed with Janine Thompkins, a foster mother who sees beyond behavior, a quiet war begins-not just for custody, but for truth. As Janine uncovers what Maya cannot say, she faces a system designed to measure compliance, not pain.
A devastating, lyrical novel about the cost of being unheard-and the quiet revolution it takes to be free.
Some stories don't scream. They stay.
