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.

Set in a world where women of the KKK betray their neighbors, horrors of unscrupulous foundling homes come to light, and buried mysteries are not all that hidden. It’s 1921 in Georgia.
