In the Quiet

Cate Carlton has recently died, yet somehow she is able to linger on, watching her three young children and her husband as they come to terms with their life without her on their rural horse property. As the months pass and her children grow, they cope in different ways, both drawn closer and pulled apart by their shared loss. And all Cate can do is watch on helplessly, seeing their grief, how much they miss her and how – heartbreakingly – they are also beginning to heal.

Gradually unfolding to reveal Cate’s life, her marriage, and the unhappy secret she shared with one of her children, In the Quiet is sweet, funny, tender and true – heartbreaking and uplifting in equal measure.

Ideal for readers interested in modern & contemporary.
