After her mother loses custody of her due to drug and child abuse, Senai moves to a predominantly Dominican, black and Puerto Rican neighborhood in Miami, Florida.

THE ARCHITECTURE OF SILENCE
In a world where the past refuses to stay buried and the future lurks in the shadows, Simone - a teenager with a storm-tossed soul - is unwillingly drawn into the heart of a story that isn't hers... yet one that will change her forever. Her father was never truly there, and life with her mother has been nothing more than a string of unanswered silences. As high school nears its end, Simone finds herself swept into a whirlwind of unexpected events, where every choice leaves a wound, and every truth uncovered slices deeper into her sense of self. Forced to face challenges beyond her years and to unravel secrets guarded for decades, she discovers a hidden side of her mother - and a mysterious figure, Signore M., whose shadow seems to haunt the edges of her reality. With a broken heart but a will born of pain, Simone will test the limits of her body, her emotions, and her spirit. She will learn to live at the edge of the abyss, to lose her innocence, and to rise from the ashes of her own story. This is not merely a journey toward adulthood. It is a rebirth. A claiming of destiny. A one-way descent into a truth that wounds - but sets her free.Concluída
