Author Kristen L Berry’s novel We Don’t Talk About Carol hits the shelves on June 3.
The mystery thriller tackles the story of Sydney Singleton, who, upon her grandmother’s passing, finds a hidden photograph of a little girl, who she discovers to be her aunt Carol who went missing in the 1960s.
Nobody has spoken about what really happened to Sydney’s long-lost aunt, but upon discovering the photo, she becomes determined to unravel the truth and break the sinister silence around it.
The writer and communications executive with a bachelor’s degree in English and literature has worked with leading consumer brands for nearly 20 years while writing in her spare time, and is now finally making her debut in the literary world.
“For as long as I can remember, whenever I’ve visited a bookstore or a library, I’ve gone to the fiction shelves to find the place where my future book would live. It’s so surreal to think that before long, I’ll actually be able to find my novel on that bookshelf,” Kristen said in a social media post.
“I’m so fortunate to have so many friends, loved ones and critique partners who believed in this book and generously contributed their time and energy to help me improve it before the first draft was complete,” she added.
