She was four strokes away.

Eleven-year-old Emma watched her twin sister drown. She was four strokes away.

Years later, the silence hasn't broken. It's only gotten heavier. Ninety Seconds of Silence is a haunting novella about grief, guilt, and the words a family never says out loud — and what happens when the past finally demands to be spoken.
