About this audiobook
The Silence Before Song
The First Movement of Where the Dirge Plays
Drs. Laurie and Robert LiPuma have spent their careers helping others make sense of memory, trauma, and grief. Then they receive an invitation from an organization that does not appear to exist.
Ferryman Services offers them three months of work: observe, document, and ethically evaluate a series of unusual cases. No publicity. Absolute confidentiality. Compensation that could change everything.
Their first client seems simple: a man seeking one final conversation with the son he abandoned forty-two years ago.
But nothing inside Ferryman is simple.
Observation becomes participation. Facts begin to shift. And Laurie begins to perceive the invisible weight people carry.
The Silence Before Song is a haunting literary mystery about guilt, grief, and the truths that cannot be understood, only witnessed.
