A Sci-Fi, Post-Apocalyptic Romance, Cry of Silence is an odyssey of survival and hope as Jenn and her husband Nik struggle to make their way through the dystopian landscape in the wake of the Aftermath.

She grasps onto her memories like a life preserver in this ode to pop culture, bad jokes, cartoons, junk food, blue movies and all the oddities that made Earth tick.
