So, I saw the cover of this book and read the blurb and I was so excited because it looks and sounds like a great story.

I consumed this novel in a matter of 2 hours.
A raw picture of a life torn apart by nightmares and the extreme isolation of silence in the face of pain. Sometimes, it's Silence that holds us back from healing.
I definitely recommend this book to others.
