Silent Night

By E A Trillo

Caroline Hayes is a ghost.

A year after a devastating falling-out with her family in Virginia, Cara has perfected the art of disappearing. She works in a quiet cafe, lives in a cramped apartment, and keeps her heart under lock and key. She's traded her voice for silence, convinced that if she doesn't let anyone in, she can't be hurt again.

But when a winter storm and a persistent roommate drag her through the doors of Shepherd House Church, Cara's carefully constructed walls begin to crumble.

She expected judgment; she found a sanctuary. She expected a sermon; she found John Shepherd-a man who understands that the heaviest burdens are the ones we carry in secret.

As the snow buries the city and the holiday music mocks her isolation, Cara must decide: Is she the "lost sheep" her past says she is, or is there a song still waiting to be sung? In the middle of the coldest winter, she might just find that grace doesn't require perfection-it only requires staying.
