"A morning starts common, till a door opens and the world slips clean from your hands."

Silt - Who gets to say what’s real—a roomful of people decreeing the future into being, or the widow who will only speak what she knows?

After burying her husband, June learns he secretly signed their river land over to a prosperity-gospel empire—then changed his mind before he died. To keep the ground, she must fight a church that treats doubt as a disease, and a grief of her own that keeps demanding the dead explain themselves.

By turns funny, furious, and luminous, Silt is the story of everything that can’t be decreed away, prayed away, or washed away. Only borne.
