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.
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.
