"Not A Sound"

Heather Gudenkauf is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Weight of Silence and These Things Hidden.

She applied the Page 69 Test to her new novel, Not A Sound, and reported the following:

From page 69:

Now, just like I do every night before I go to sleep, I make sure my flashlight is in my bedside table drawer where it should be and make sure my cell phone is fully charged and within hand’s reach. My little ritual. Only now, with lights blazing and Stitch nearby am I able to close my eyes and rest.

There are only a few lines on Page 69 of Not a Sound and it shows a rare peek into Amelia’s more vulnerable side. She has had everything that is dear to her stripped away (mostly by her own doing): her family, her career, her hearing. It is so important for her to show the outside world how strong and independent, how brave she is, that the only time she lets down her guard is when she and Stitch are home alone at night.
