Silent Sounds - (Hardback or Cased Book)

In the summer of 1960, six-year-old Wes explores his sleepy hometown, Manhassett Beach, where life feels as vast and simple as a boy's imagination. With his best friend, Dean, he delights in the small joys of everyday life-quirky townspeople, the Corner Store, the ocean waves, the teeming life and scents of a meadow, and the endless possibilities of youth. When a Black family moves in next door, Wes befriends a girl, Frez, and begins to hear the whispers of a silent problem, murmurs that hang in the air. Yet, he remains untouched by the tangled world around him, seeing only the innocence and purity of the human heart. As tragedy strikes, Wes faces the harsh realities of loss and growing up. Yet, amid the grief, he finds solace in his simple surroundings-the beauty of nature, the warmth of companionship, and the marvel of ordinary wonders. This elegant coming-of-age story explores the beauty of living, reminding us that joy can be found in the highs and lows of ever-changing life.
