Jadine is a chilling portrait of a young orphan making her way in a hostile world. Beginning in rural New Hampshire and leading to the back door of privileged Boston, Veazey explores with emotional precision, the complex, seductive contradictions of Jadine's life that is indelibly shaped by doings not her own. She is capable of violence without remorse, even as she gently cares for the elderly and yearns for her lost love, Billy-John, a Native American orphan. Resisting tidy resolutions, Veazey enlists our sympathy, shock, disapproval, and finally, compassion, in this insightful, stark tale.

New Hampshire's Julie Bigg Veazey has created an intimate coming-of-age novel set in an elite girls' boarding school in the 1950s, rich in psychological insights, compelling characters, and gothic elements. Silent Cry is a moving story of strength in the face of shattering life-changing events.

Moon Over Cabarete is a travel memoir of the Dominican Republic and a personal journey of discovery, written with a sense of romance and filled with dramatic incidents, colorful stories, laughter and tears. Julie and Bill Veazey first vacationed in Cabarete, a small fishing village in the Dominican Republic, in 1987. The breathtaking natural beauty of the country and their affection for the people they met there brought them back time and again over the next 20 years, during which Cabarete transitioned from a rural economy into a world-class water sports and vacation destination. This memoir recounts a series of events and adventures that run the gamut from funny to achingly sad and captures the Veazeys' attempts to live harmoniously in a new environment, along with observations of the unpretentious Dominican people and their country.
