Twelve-year-old Janet Cross thought she understood her world. She knew the sound of her mother's laughter in the kitchen. The way her father said goodnight, like nothing could ever change. She knew what love looked like. ...or at least, she thought she did. Until the nights grew louder. Until words were thrown like knives behind closed doors. Until "we're fine" became something she stopped believing. And then-everything fell apart. Caught between two homes, two truths, and the things no one ever explains to a child, Janet begins to realize something unsettling: Maybe she didn't mishear anything at all. Maybe she just didn't understand it the first time. Now, as silence replaces answers and distance replaces warmth, Janet must piece together what was broken-not just in her family, but inside herself. Because some words don't hurt when you first hear them... They hurt when you finally understand them. EVEREST GREEN.
