About this audiobook

Drs. Laurie and Robert LiPuma have built their careers helping others make sense of memory, trauma, and grief. They believe every story—no matter how painful—can eventually be understood. Then they receive an invitation from an organization that doesn’t appear to exist. 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 starts to perceive something she cannot explain—the invisible weight people carry, suddenly made visible. As each case deepens, so does a question neither of them is prepared to face: What if some truths cannot be understood… only witnessed? The Silence Before Song is a haunting literary mystery about guilt, grief, and the reckonings that find us whether we are ready or not. This first movement of Where the Dirge Plays invites you into a world where love refuses to disappear.
