Invite Helena St. George for an Interview
Few dystopian novels explore the survival and resistance strategies of people society often ignores. Shattered But Not Silenced stands out by focusing on characters often overlooked—the homeless, the addicted, or the disabled, in short, those frequently considered outcasts—while examining how an authoritarian regime measures human value.
Helena St. George treats her protagonist authentically and multidimensionally, portraying resilience, survival, and quiet defiance in a world that demands productivity and self-sufficiency. Written for adult readers with appeal to new adult and older YA audiences, the novel fills a gap in dystopian literature, offering a fresh perspective on power, oppression, and the human spirit. Filtered through Maya’s sharp, ironic first-person perspective, the story unfolds as a deeply personal account of survival
Grounded in social realism and inspired by historical systems of control, the novel examines how institutions enforce conformity, strip autonomy, and define value, raising urgent questions: Who decides a person’s worth, and what happens to those who can’t or won’t comply?
Shattered But Not Silenced will resonate with readers who enjoy dystopian fiction as social commentary, and offers rich discussion topics on art as resistance, institutional power, and the courage it takes to remain human in systems designed to erase difference. To be released in April 2026. Download the first chapter.
