Not a Sound: A thriller for nurses with disabilities!
New York Times bestselling author Heather Gudenkauf 's new book is fiction. But insights the author gained from being raised by a nurse and personally living with a profound unilateral hearing loss makes so much of the book ring true!
"When a tragic accident leaves nurse Amelia Winn deaf, she spirals into a depression that ultimately causes her to lose everything that matters—her job, her husband, David, and her stepdaughter, Nora. Now, two years later and with the help of her hearing dog, Stitch, she is finally getting back on her feet. But when she discovers the body of a fellow nurse in the dense bush by the river, deep in the woods near her cabin, she is plunged into a disturbing mystery that could shatter the carefully reconstructed pieces of her life all over again."
The thriller is a great read...hard to put down!
I only wish the author had included more nursing career opportunities for Amelia Winn following the incident that lead to her deafness.
Love to hear what you think of the book.
