Inspired by true events, ECHOES OF SILENCE follows two heartbreaking stories across generations of Swedish child welfare. When ten-year-old Aishe arrives in Malmö as a refugee, she's stripped of her name, her language, and her family all in the name of integration. Decades later, history repeats when teacher Ulrika's misinterpretation of normal childhood behavior results in Emil and Nora being taken from their loving home.
As past and present collide, this novel asks urgent questions about authority, cultural misunderstanding, and the trauma of separation. For readers of Kristin Hannah and Heather Morris, this is a devastating yet ultimately hopeful story about the resilience of children and the systems that fail them.
