A haunting and unforgettable novel of love, guilt, silence, and the child who survived.

Rema has spent her life listening to what people do not say.

As a municipal audio transcriber, she hears fear in pauses, guilt in hesitation, and truth beneath ordinary words. But one night, when a woman calls to report a burning smell, strange men inside an old community school, a covered fire alarm panel, and children still in the building, Rema makes a choice that will follow her for the rest of her life.

Ashes Have Names Too is a deeply emotional literary novel about guilt, memory, corruption, love after loss, and the courage it takes to finally listen.

Perfect for readers who are moved by powerful character-driven fiction, haunting moral mysteries, and stories about children, grief, justice, and redemption.

For fans of emotional literary fiction, unforgettable moral dilemmas, and novels that stay with you long after the final page.
