“The body remembers everything the mind wants to forget.”
Fiona McPhillips, When We Were Silent

“In the end, we're the ones who have to live with the stories we tell ourselves.”
Fiona McPhillips, When We Were Silent

“For years, I tried not to think about Highfield Manor. The pompous rise of its granite walls, the secrets hidden in its stone-cold shadows. The dark veil of cedars shrouding the school from the outside world. But still the memories fester in me, real as a disease.”
Fiona McPhillips, When We Were Silent

“For years, I tried not to think about Highfield Manor. The pompous rise of its granite walls, the secrets hidden in its stone-cold shadows. The dark veil of cedars shrouding the school from the outside world. But still the memories fester in me, real as a disease.”
Fiona McPhillips, When We Were Silent

“The body remembers everything the mind wants to forget.”
Fiona McPhillips, When We Were Silent

“A different time. The era of synth pop and mixtapes, hair gel and new wave. Of Prince and paramilitaries, Madonna and moving statues. Magdalene laundries, the Eighth Amendment, bodies as battlegrounds—pig slit and gaping. Different but the same. Absolution for the guilty but not for us.”
Fiona McPhillips, When We Were Silent

“That was always the one thing Highfield
valued more than grades, more than silverware or celebrity alumni: silence.”
Fiona McPhillips, When We Were Silent

“I'm not here for prestige. I'm here for revenge.”
Fiona McPhillips, When We Were Silent
