When Everything Else is Quiet

This novel explores youthful innocence and consequence, self discovery, generational trauma and the loose concepts of a Snow White retelling with a metropolitan 1990s setting.

Lily is bold, impulsive, and naive. Someone, she isn't sure who, named her Lilith. And something else, something dark and cruel, cursed her with the strange ability to know, hear, and see what others think. She lives in fear of it and punishes herself for her inability to be normal.

Selin, on the other hand, is a quiet girl dealing with her mother's recent passing and the strange nature of her soon-to-be stepmother, whom she heard talking to her mirror late one night.

Two troubled girls meet in Detroit's 1990s and learn about themselves and their families' intertwining pasts, while uncovering a murder scheme and their developing feelings for each other. Or, when everything else is quiet, who will survive?
