Some mysteries simply lie beyond the reach of formulas and science—and that is exactly where author Mike Bassett steps in. With his debut coming-of-age novel, The Quiet Weight of Wings, Bassett masterfully navigates the heavy landscape of grief, identity, and the silent strength of words to heal us across time.
Fusing a sharp, analytical mind with an incredibly tender understanding of the human heart, his story offers a lyrical, deeply resonant escape for anyone who has ever carried the quiet weight of loss.

However, where science deals in precise formulas, Bassett found himself drawn to a different kind of puzzle—the beautiful, unpredictable complexity of the human heart.
