The Weight of Silence follows seventeen-year-old Jacob Keller, who has learned how to survive quietly. Living in his uncle’s Baltimore apartment, he rations meals, manages epilepsy without consistent medication, and stays invisible whenever he can. Music—composed late at night on a battered keyboard—is the only place the noise in his head briefly softens.

At school, Jacob has spent years circling Logan Weston, a high-achieving student who appears to have everything together while quietly pushing his own body past its limits. Care is offered, refused, and misunderstood—until Jacob disappears into the city without shelter or medication.

This is a character-driven novel about chronic illness, institutional neglect, and what it costs to survive quietly when staying alive is no longer the same as choosing to live.
