All The Quiet Things

By Maja Skrzynska

Seventeen-year-old Joyce feels as though everyone else has been handed instructions for life that she somehow never received.

While classmates plan universities, relationships and futures with effortless confidence, Joyce drifts quietly through college overwhelmed by grief, loneliness and the growing feeling that something inside her is fundamentally wrong, convinced she is becoming impossible to understand and even harder to love.

But through unexpected conversations, patient teachers, small acts of kindness and the people who continue reaching for her even when she pushes them away, Joyce slowly begins to realise that healing does not arrive all at once. Sometimes it happens quietly. Sometimes it simply means learning how to exist inside your own life again.

A deeply reflective coming-of-age novel about grief, faith, loneliness, family and recovery, this is a story about the painful, beautiful process of becoming yourself again beneath everything that tried to bury you.
