Beneath the Silence

After the sudden death of her abusive alcoholic father, sixteen-year-old Luna is left with no choice but to move in with her five older brothers, who she's hardly known her whole life. Her mother died when she was just a baby, and the details of her passing have always been a mystery. Now, with no one else to turn to, Luna is thrust into a chaotic new life, sharing a house with siblings she doesn't fully trust but feels she must rely on.

As she tries to find her footing in this unfamiliar world, Luna begins to uncover a secret that her brothers have kept hidden for years-a secret about her mother's death and the lengths her brothers have gone to protect and care for her, even from her. Despite the bruises left by her father's violence, Luna slowly starts to experience what real love and loyalty can feel like.

With her world turned upside down, Luna must come to terms with the truth about her family, the bonds that unite them, and the strength she never knew she had to heal from the past. As she pieces together her fractured life, she realizes that love doesn't always come in the form she expected-and sometimes, the people who love you most are the ones who protect you in silence.

"Silent Bonds" is a poignant, heartfelt story of family, resilience, and the power of secrets kept with love.
