The Echo of Silence

Wounded from a fractured upbringing and haunted by ghosts from combat, Jack Mercer is in search of peace, purpose … or something unnamed. His story begins in the humble dust and dirt of Wellington, Texas, and explodes to the shock and awe of battlefields across the world, but Jack's real journey is finding himself amidst an ever-changing volley of life that whirls like poetry in perpetual motion. When Jack is finally forced to stop running, his weary soul turns to the aching work of stitching life's broken pieces into a brave understanding of what holds meaning. In accepting his past, his present, and himself, Jack finds home.

A raw exploration of survival, forgiveness, and the slow, imperfect process of healing, The Echo of Silence bears the gravitas of those who live with invisible wounds and the family and friends who live in the reverberations.
