The Weight of Quiet

Ezryn Sol has made silence her sharpest weapon. In Chicago's restless streets, she moves between the warmth of her sister Soraya's kitchen, the steady presence of her business partner Amira, and the unexpected pull of Liora - a woman whose arrival stirs echoes Ezryn thought she'd buried.

Bound to Soraya and Amira by loyalty, trauma, and the unspoken, Ezryn has built a life where every word is measured, every truth carefully contained. But silence can't hold forever.

As the city presses in - trains screaming overhead, rain slicking the sidewalks, the buzz of an old flip phone in her pocket - Ezryn must decide which connections will save her, and which will break her open.

A slow‑burn, immersive literary fiction about the weight of what's unsaid, the intimacy of shared meals, and the dangerous beauty of connection between women.
