This Heavy Silence

This first novel by Nicole Mazzarella has won critical acclaim and awards: Library Journal, Christianity Today and the Christy Awards all laud it.

It's a beautifully told story, honest and raw, simple and sad, ultimately redemptive but never cliche. Really, really good. I finished it last night and couldn't sleep as the characters swam around in my head.

It's the kind of first novel everyone dreams of writing-honest and literary, acclaimed yet humble. Lovely.
