"I wish that I could wake up from this reality, and just live in my dreams instead." - @espinousa 2014-2015

Jessie Black has been depressed for a while now. She's 17 and her mother died 2 years ago and her father doesn't act like one. Before her mom passed, they had a 'perfect' family. But ever since her mom died everything went downhill.

My name is Rachelle, I'm 13 almost 14, I'm from Tennessee. I have three brothers. I'm very shy and quiet. Until you get to know me. Did I mention I was homeschooled? It sucks cause I don't really socialize. I met all my friends at church. Yes I'm a Christian. I believe in God. I'm kinda obsessed with 5sos (5 Seconds Of Summer) I love them. I've been obsessed them for about a year. So I haven't been apart of the 5sos fam long. I'm also depressed. There have been times when I've wanted to die. But this is my story.

Emily used to someone. A sister. A daughter. A girlfriend. A friend. Then her mother was murdered - and everything went quiet. Now she is unraveling under the weight of grief she can't name. Her sister Amy is holding it together - barely. But pretending to be okay doesn't stop you from drowning. Told through alternating POVS, The Quiet Between Us is a haunting teen fiction about sisterhood, love, trauma and the fragile hope of healing. Because sometimes, the loudest cries are the ones no one hears.
