[COMPLETE] Echoes of Silence tells the heartbreaking and hopeful story of Elizabeth and Olive, a mother and daughter separated by tragedy and longing to find each other again. Elizabeth, at almost 20, gives birth to Olive in 2009 under devastating circumstances. Olive is the result of violence, and while Elizabeth loves her more than anything, the trauma and fear of being a young, unprepared mother lead her to give Olive up for adoption. She convinces herself it's the best decision, but the weight of that choice never leaves her. Fifteen years later, Elizabeth is married to Robbie, who supports her through everything, but the ache of not knowing what happened to Olive eats away at her. She decides to search for her daughter, no matter the cost. Meanwhile, Olive has grown up in the foster care system, shuffled between homes that were supposed to protect her but often did the opposite. She's been hurt, silenced, and left feeling like she's nothing but a problem nobody wants. Olive doesn't speak anymore-it's her way of keeping the world out, of staying safe. She pours everything into her art and her diary, writing letters to a mother she barely remembers but can't forget. Elizabeth's search is heartbreaking, full of dead ends and moments where she almost gives up. When she learns about Olive's painful past, her guilt becomes unbearable, but it also fuels her determination. Olive, on the other hand, is unsure if she even wants to be found. The silence she's lived in for years feels safer than letting someone in. As their stories move closer together, Echoes of Silence becomes a raw, emotional journey about love, loss, and the hope of being seen and heard-even in the darkest moments. Will they find each other, or will the silence keep them apart forever?
