Publisher's Synopsis
Some silences are screams in disguise.
In a town haunted by legacy, power, and unspoken trauma, happiness fades into mourning when a body is discovered near the old factory. From that moment, long-buried secrets begin to surface-and with them, the fragile peace between two families begins to unravel.
The influential Rai family guards its silence. The picture-perfect Rathi household hides behind smiles. But the forest nearby remembers everything-its trees echo with whispers, its soil swallows footprints, and its shadows conceal truths that refuse to die.
This is not a story of one voice.
It is the story of:
- A woman the world called cursed.
- Another who loved deeply-but stayed silent.
- Someone who answered from beyond death.
- Two girls raised as twins, tied to questions no one dared to ask.
- A silver chain, once a symbol of everything, now a key to everything lost.
As past and present collide, And Still, She Stayed Quiet explores the devastating power of secrets, the weight of generational silence, and the fierce, enduring strength of women navigating love, grief, and betrayal.
For fans of Colleen Hoover's Verity and Tayari Jones' An American Marriage, this psychological suspense novel delivers a haunting tale of buried truths, slow-burn romance, and voices long ignored.
When everything is on the line, one question remains:
How far would you go to protect the ones you love- if speaking up could destroy it all?
