Silence in the Pasture

Published by CUSTOM BOOK PUBLICATIONS Noveletta Imprint Silence in the Pasture... Carmen grows up with her mother and her father at their private homestead, facing both the beauties and the harsh realities of farming. As Carmen matures into adolescence, she is faced with a loss that leaves her feeling alone and vulnerable. Carmen takes it upon herself to manage situations to the best of her ability, though she quickly learns that some situations cannot be changed or saved, no matter the quantity of time given to her or the effort attempted at doing the right thing. In time, Carmen leaves the private homestead, departing only to face a cruder and colder reality. She comes to eventually tell of her personal story, at the age of eighteen when she is free and the world, at last, feels hers to embrace.
