82 parts Ongoing MatureNiamh Lynches world fell apart the day her sister Nora died. Left with the grief of losing her sibling and the weight of secrets too heavy to carry, Niamh retreats into herself, unable to find solace in the broken pieces of her family. As her parents struggle to hold their lives together, Niamh pushes away the only person who's ever understood her.
Liam has been a constant in Niamh's life since they were kids-her best friend, her anchor in a world that's falling apart. But since Nora's death, Niamh has pulled away, unable to face the pain of losing her sister, and terrified of letting anyone in again. The walls she's built around herself only grow higher as she wrestles with the trauma that lingers in the shadows.
Liam, however, isn't easily shaken. He's seen Niamh at her best and worst, and he's always been there. But as Niamh pushes him further away, he begins to question how much longer he can stay-how much longer he can be there for her when she refuses to let him in. In a world filled with confusion and heartache, their bond is tested, and Niamh's journey toward healing becomes more complicated than she ever imagined.
In the Wake of Silence is a deeply emotional story of love, trauma, and the struggle to reclaim a life that's been shattered. It's a powerful exploration of how we heal-or don't-from the wounds that refuse to fade.
