Thoughts & Prayers

In Thoughts & Prayers, Bryan Bliss threads together three poignant narratives centered on Claire, Eleanor, and Brezzen, young survivors of a school shooting who grapple with the lasting impact of trauma in a world that quickly moves on. Each character navigates their pain in distinct ways—one finding refuge in a new home, another becoming a symbol for change, and the last retreating into fantasy. This novel delves into the complexities of healing amid a backdrop of societal violence, illuminating the quiet moments of resilience and connection that persist even in the aftermath of tragedy.
