2021 BBNYA Semifinalist Spotlight on It Happened in Silence by Karla M. Jay
This is a powerful tale of family, a celebration of decency, and the heartbreak of society’s injustices then that rings true today.

Thank you to @KarlaMJay1 @BBNYA_Official @The_WriteReads @FolioSociety for inviting me to participate again this year.
