Tíha skrytých slov (2026)

Three months have passed since the fateful evening on the bathroom floor, when Lily found her older sister with a razor blade at her wrist. Since then, for her own sake and that of her family, Lily has desperately tried to return to her former life as a well-behaved student, daughter and sister. But when Alice returns home from treatment, Lily is gradually overwhelmed by all the feelings she has suppressed for so long. A new student with a difficult past arrives at Ridgeline High School. Micah was in treatment with Alice and now seems determined to help Lily cope not only with Alice’s experience but also with her own. Lily has secrets too: compulsive episodes she cannot overcome and a mind crowded with distressing thoughts. When Lily and Micah begin a school project and search for artistic inspiration in even the most unusual places, she realizes that she has been holding back words that are now forcing their way to the surface. This Czech-language young adult novel deals with mental health, family relationships and the difficult process of finding a way to speak about hidden pain.
