“Where is your brother?”

And in the silence that followed, the world shifted forever.

Before the nations. Before kings and laws. There was a family. And there was a wound that never healed.

In a land still damp with creation, two brothers are born: Abel, gentle and full of wonder, and Cain, firstborn and restless, shadowed by expectation. Their parents, Adam and Eve, carry their own quiet grief—haunted by the paradise they lost, and the burden of raising sons in a world broken too soon.

What begins as a story of soil and sacrifice becomes something far darker when envy takes root. One act shatters what little peace remains, leaving Abel’s body in a field, and Cain marked by exile.

The Silence We Raised retells the oldest fratricide through a lens of sorrow and humanity—grief without villainy, exile without redemption, and silence that speaks louder than any voice. Told with mythic beauty and emotional precision, this novella explores the unraveling of the world’s first family and the ache that lingers long after blood soaks the soil.

Perfect for readers of Madeline Miller, Anita Diamant, or early J.K. Rowling, this is a story about what it means to lose—your child, your brother, your home—and what remains after.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Matthew Pearce is a husband, father of nine, and a storyteller at heart. He has been married to his wife for over 25 years, and together they’ve built a life rooted in faith, love, and resilience. He often says one of his greatest blessings is his wife—a godly woman who is beautiful inside and out, his partner in building dreams, and the one who encourages him to pursue his calling. Their marriage has weathered life’s ups and downs with grace, laughter, and a love that only grows stronger with time.

As a father, Matthew is deeply proud of his nine children. Each one is unique, with different strengths, personalities, and talents, and he delights in seeing them grow into who God has called them to be. His love for them shapes not only his daily life but also the recurring themes of family, faith, and perseverance found throughout his writing.

A graduate of the University of Central Florida with a Bachelor’s in English and a Master of Fine Arts from Full Sail University, Matthew writes across genres—from mysteries and fantasy to reflections on faith, family, business, and life. While the subject may change, one thing never does: his commitment to creating stories and insights that uplift, challenge, and remain true to his Christian values.

Originally from Oklahoma, Matthew now lives in Florida, where he and his family enjoy church, theme parks, museums, and traveling together. Whether he’s crafting a gripping story or sharing lessons learned from life, his words are meant to inspire readers to think deeper, live stronger, and see the world through fresh eyes.

    The Silence We Raised tells a familiar story with deep care and compassion.
    The writing focuses on grief, loss, and the heavy weight of family bonds.
    Cain and Abel feel human, shaped by love, fear, and expectation.
    I appreciated how the story avoids easy answers and lets sorrow speak for itself.
    This book stayed with me and made me reflect on what is left after everything breaks.

    4.0 out of 5 stars haunting slow burn
    Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2026

    I was really moved by The Silence We Raised. It takes the story of Adam and Eve and makes it feel incredibly human. You see them not just as biblical figures but as parents trying to figure things out in a harsh world.

    The writing is poetic and very atmospheric. You can really feel the weight of the silence and the struggle of their exile. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars is that it can be a bit heavy. It is definitely a slow read that focuses more on internal emotion than fast-paced action. It is a gorgeous book, but you have to be in the right headspace for something this contemplative.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Silence We Raised by Matthew Pearce
    Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2026
    Format: Kindle
    Imagine the oldest story you’ve ever heard — the tale of Cain and Abel — told with the heart of a novelist instead of the distance of a history book. That’s what Matthew Pearce accomplishes in The Silence We Raised, a lyrical, thoughtful retelling that treats this ancient narrative like a family drama filled with real feeling.

    The novel doesn’t just retell the biblical outline — it dives deep into the quiet spaces between the big moments. Cain and Abel feel like flesh-and-blood brothers rather than distant symbols, and Pearce gives plenty of room to the grief, envy, and silent questions that linger after tragedy. The result is a story that’s more about what it feels like to lose someone than what actually happens in the headlines of scripture.

    What stood out most to me was how the prose often reads like a meditation — it’s not rushed, and it doesn’t try to explain everything. Instead, it invites you to sit with the emotions, the regrets, and the weight of choices that can’t be undone. If you enjoy stories with emotional gravity, reflective pacing, and characters who feel alive with their doubts and longings, this one is a rewarding read.

    It’s the kind of book that sticks with you, not because it surprises you with plot twists, but because it opens up an old story in a way that feels fresh and deeply human.

    The Silence We Raised was a very cool take on a historical story many of us grew up with. I really enjoyed reading this book, and it made me think about how I could better manage certain situations in my own life. It seems the human response is to quickly resort to emotion, making rash, poor decisions, and I think we all have an opportunity to catch ourselves and calm down a touch. Great book, great perspective!

    5.0 out of 5 stars known story, different angle
    Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2026
    Format: Kindle
    The story we all know from the childhood. Caen and Abel. I thought I knew the story well, but reading it this way was a very different experience. It’s not shocking or dramatic, rather quiet on one hand, and heavy on the other, it's also emotionally demanding. There's a focus on family grief, on all the unspoken pain, and at times, it was hard to read it, at the same time, the message was meaningful. You really need to be up for the emotions and feelings to read it, but it does stay with you once you are done reading.

    Quiet, haunting, and emotionally heavy in the best way, this novella lingers long after finishing. The writing feels poetic and restrained, letting grief and silence speak louder than action. It’s a reflective retelling that focuses more on sorrow, loss, and humanity than shock or drama.

    A quiet, haunting retelling that treats a familiar story with empathy and restraint. The focus on family grief and unspoken loss gives the narrative real emotional weight. It feels intimate rather than grand, letting sorrow, silence, and consequence carry the story long after it ends.
