After the sudden death of her beloved uncle Sam, Jeanne retreats into the hush of the old house they shared, where clocks hesitate, silence listens back, and memory lingers in the walls themselves. But when a mysterious boy appears, Jeanne’s grief begins to loosen into something stranger and more luminous. As snow deepens and the boundary between waking and dreaming softens, Jeanne is drawn toward a quiet transformation, one shaped not by sacrifice, but by attention; not by destruction, but by flame’s strange ability to consecrate what it touches.

Silence & Flame is a story about grief, devotion, memory, and the courage required to become fully oneself. Through the poignant exploration of loss and the unexpected gifts that arise from sorrow, Shannon Wood Rothenberg weaves a tale of transformation that will resonate with anyone who has ever felt the weight of heartache.
