The words she spoke when her parents called to ask if they should let her younger brother Denny out to celebrate his high school graduation with friends. That night, Denny - optimistic, naive Denny - is brutally murdered inside a busy restaurant. Returning home for the funeral, Ky learns that the police are stumped by her brother‘s case. Even though several people were present at Denny‘s murder, each bystander claims to have seen nothing, and they are all staying silent. Determined to uncover the truth, Ky questions the witnesses herself. But what she learns goes beyond what happened that fateful night. The silence has always been there, threaded through the generations, and as Ky peels back the layers of the place that shaped her, she must confront more than the reasons her brother is dead. And once those truths have finally been spoken, how can any of them move on? * * * ‘Tracey Lien‘s first novel is a deeply moving tale of rage, regret and resilience . . .
