The Unsaid

Some truths are kept. Some are kept hidden.

For twenty-three years, Marcia Bennett kept house for Samuel Grant in a small Jamaican district — and kept his secrets, because they were a kind of shelter for her own. When Samuel dies in the night, the village begins turning a quiet man into a story, and Marcia must decide what to protect: the life she built, or the silence that made it possible.

Written by J. Ellen Sussex, The Unsaid is a story of survival, queer love, and everything a community agrees not to say out loud.
