THE SILENT RETURN
Salish was once a quiet girl who endured cruel bullying at school while trying to hold on to the few people who believed in her. Her older brother was her greatest source of encouragement, and her best friend gave her a reason to keep smiling. But at home, things were far from perfect. Her father was rarely around, and tensions within the family were slowly growing.
Everything changes when Salish overhears a disturbing conversation at a family party. Her uncle is secretly discussing her father, his property, and a plan that could destroy their family. Before Salish can understand what she has discovered, tragedy strikes.
Her father dies under suspicious circumstances. Then her brother is accused of stealing and sent to prison for a crime Salish believes he did not commit. Her mother is powerless to stop what is happening. When Salish herself becomes a target, she is forced to flee, leaving her family and everything she knows behind.
Years later, Salish returns as a completely different woman.
With the help of someone who gave her a second chance, she rebuilt her life, pursued her education, studied law, and became a prosecutor. She returns home carrying knowledge, confidence, and questions that were never answered.
But she doesn't return simply to remember the past.
She returns to uncover the truth about her father's death, her brother's imprisonment, and the betrayal that destroyed her family.
The people responsible believe the past is buried.
They don't know Salish has returned.
