What Adults Hear

By Mico Veman

What Adults Hear is a quiet, unsettling novel about a child who speaks the truth and the adults who reshape it until it feels safe.

Nine-year-old Emma knows something is wrong in her home long before anyone believes her. Her father wants stability. His girlfriend wants control.

When a strange yellow cat appears in the backyard, Emma finds the first listener who does not correct her, comfort her, or explain her away. As the adults around her cling to good intentions, the cost of not listening becomes impossible to ignore.

This is not a story about monsters.
It is a story about belief, protection, and what happens when the wrong voice is trusted.
