The Silence Between

By David Emprimo

Set in the spring of 1988 in the small East Texas town of Schaefer, The Silence Between is a layered, emotionally resonant young adult novel that follows four teens - Ray, Savannah, Allie, and Colt - as they navigate love, loss, and the unspoken truths that shape them.

When a car accident shatters their fragile equilibrium, each must confront the silence between what they feel and what they say. Told in multiple perspectives and underscored by a rich soundtrack of 1970s and '80s music, the novel explores identity, resilience, and the quiet power of choosing your own voice.

With echoes of Robert Cormier and Judy Blume and the emotional depth of a John Hughes film, The Silence Between is a coming-of-age story about the spaces that define us-and the courage it takes to fill them.
