Overview

Nora was seventeen years old. She wrote poems in a notebook under her mattress. She wanted to see the ocean. One August morning, she walked to her babysitting job and never arrived. What follows is not a mystery. The killer is found, tried, and convicted. The system does its work. But the system's work is not the family's work. A mother holds vigil for thirty years. A father retreats into silence. A sister carries a poem she cannot bring herself to read. The Wound Remains Faithful traces fifty years of aftermath-the machinery of justice, the geography of forgetting, the way a murderer rebuilds his life while his victim remains forever seventeen. It is a tragedy in the oldest sense: an act of witness that refuses the consolation of closure. This is a work of fiction. It is not based on any specific case. It is based on the pattern that repeats.
