Her Silent Screams

Finding your voice, only for it to be snatched away from you again. Set in Hilbrow, Parktown, Johannesburg, Cape Town and Nigeria; Her Silent Screams by Busisekile Khumalo follows the story of Fatima Farrah Omar, a mute, Muslim girl who gets bullied for being different and for catching the eye of the rugby captain, Banzi. Falling in love with Banzi is easy but she never expected him to love her back with the same intensity and slowly peel her away from the shadows. Farrah blossoms, coming into herself and just when all the stars are aligning; ghosts from Nura, her mother's past come knocking leading to their abduction and hell in the Nigerian jungle.
