A Story of Family, Love,
and Forgiveness
When the Silence is Too Loud
The Devereux family is unraveling under the weight of guilt, grief, and long-buried secrets.
Estranged from her family for six years, Lola Devereux returns home to Atlanta after her brother-in-law’s sudden death, despite the risks to her sobriety. Newly widowed and barely holding herself together, Raina Devereux Blackman wrestles with anger toward God as she struggles to survive her loss and when Nyla Davis arrives in search of her father—with danger not far behind—the fragile balance within the family begins to fracture.
As painful truths come to light, the Devereux women must decide: will faith and forgiveness restore what’s broken or will the past destroy their relationship for good?

What Readers Are Saying
Excellent. The story was relatable and the characters were easily seen in my mind's eye. As details were revealed during the story, I was drawn in and had to keep reading until I reached the end. Loved it.

Brilliant writing and fascinating storyteller. I literally read this book in 24 hours. It depicted how circumstances can overwhelm and consume you when you find yourself caught up in lies, deception and fear. How forgiveness starts with self. Extraordinary writing for her debut novel. Can't wait to read more from this gifted author.
