Shadow in the Silence

In the stillness of a sleepy Oregon town, 11-year-old Emily Carter vanished without a trace. For sixty-two long days, the nation held its breath. Behind closed doors and hidden cabins, she endured the unimaginable at the hands of a predator who thought he had erased her from the world.

But Emily survived.

Shadow in the Silence is the raw, unforgettable true story of a girl torn from her life—and the lifelong fight to reclaim it. Told with haunting detail and powerful emotion, bestselling author Claire Monroe reveals the depths of psychological trauma, the failures of the justice system, and the enduring strength of a survivor who refused to disappear into darkness.

From abduction to recovery, from courtrooms to rehab centers, Emily's journey is not just about survival—it's about rising again.

This isn't just a story of crime. It's a story of hope.

Perfect for fans of Gregg Olsen, Michelle Knight, and Jaycee Dugard, Shadow in the Silence will stay with you long after the final page.
