Description
Fractured by a devastating past, Lisa and Miriam-once inseparable childhood friends-are thrust back into each other's lives when Miriam's mother is hospitalized. With years of guilt, grief, and unspoken hurt simmering just beneath the surface, their reunion is anything but easy.
As if the tension between them isn't enough, Miriam's brother, Nathaniel, still harbors a deep resentment toward Lisa, blaming her for a long-buried childhood tragedy. His relentless pursuit of the truth threatens to expose painful secrets that have lain dormant for years, shattering the delicate peace they've each struggled to build.
As old wounds reopen and hidden truths come to light, their fragile reconnection becomes a dangerous journey of truth-telling-one that will test the limits of forgiveness, challenge the shame they've carried, and ultimately unravel everything they thought they knew about themselves, their friendship, and the painful events of the past. And in the midst of it all, it dares them to believe that love and hope might still have a place in their broken world.

Person
Shannon Singleton has been captivated by books for as long as she can remember. That early fascination turned into a passion for writing when she took Mrs. Tureau's creative writing class in 7th grade-and she's been writing ever since.She is the proud mother of two sons, Jaylen and Ty. From a young age, Jaylen shared her love of reading, often finishing books in just a day or two. But as he read more, Shannon noticed a troubling pattern: very few of those books featured African American protagonists-or any Black characters at all. Jaylen didn't see himself reflected in the stories he loved.It was a realization that mirrored Shannon's own childhood experience. Determined to help change that narrative, she launched her nonfiction children's book series in 2024: Jaylen & Ty's Adventures Based on True Stories.Now expanding her storytelling to a wider audience, Peace Amid the Chaos marks Shannon's debut into adult fiction. Through her work, she hopes to help shift the landscape of minority representation in literature-one story at a time.To learn more about Shannon and her work, visit https://www.irisepublishing.com/
