Shattered But Not Silenced

In a world where productivity is the measure of one's worth, who decides human value?

Set in a near-future America devastated by economic collapse, Shattered But Not Silenced imagines a regime that targets social service recipients, the disabled, the mentally ill, and the homeless for "reform" under the guise of economic recovery.

At the center is Maya, an autistic young woman navigating a country in turmoil while surviving forced rehabilitation inside the New Thought Center. Her sensory sensitivities, coping mechanisms, and layered internal processing are revealed through her sharp, ironic first-person voice. She is complex. She is observant. She is defiant.

The novel asks difficult questions. Who defines human value? What happens to those who do not meet the definition?
