Brian Lee Young will be reading selections from Shards of Silence, sharing insights behind the story, and signing copies of the book.

In this unforgettable coming-of-age novel, Derrick leaves Navajo, New Mexico, for an elite East Coast boarding school, chasing an opportunity that could change his future forever. But balancing intense academic pressure, cultural isolation, and the painful distance from his family becomes overwhelming—especially as his beloved great-grandmother, Mildred, urges him to come home.

As Derrick uncovers the truth about her experiences in federal Native boarding schools, he embarks on a journey to break generations of silence and preserve a story that refuses to be forgotten.

Shards of Silence is a moving and timely novel about identity, family, resilience, and the power of storytelling.
