Her Silent Husband: A heartbreaking and completely gripping page-turner

Written by Sam Vickery

Narrated by Tamsin Kennard

I walk slowly to the kitchen counter, staring out the window as Ceci rocks back and forth on the swing. My beautiful darling girl has been through so much already. How can I tell her that her life is about to change forever?

When the woman from the hospital tells me that my husband Drew is in a coma my world comes crashing down.

In an instant, I see our whole married life flashing before my eyes: the way our children ran into his arms when he came home from work, the way his face lit up when he read to them. So how can what they are saying be true? That he might have done this to himself?

As my family rallies around to help, it becomes clear that Drew’s sister Gemma knows a shocking secret that my devoted husband has been keeping from me. If he wakes up, can he still be the man I love? Or will his secret tear our family apart?

A rollercoaster ride of emotions, Her Silent Husband is a story about family, and the light that can be found in even the darkest moments of our lives. Fans of Jodi Picoult, Kelly Rimmer and Diane Chamberlain will be captivated by this unforgettable page-turner.

Sam Vickery

Sam Vickery is an author, illustrator and lover of all things creative. She writes YA fantasy fiction, children’s picture books and books on natural parenting. She lives in the South of England with her long suffering and exceedingly patient husband, their endlessly curious son, and a daughter, due to make an arrival imminently. They are very much looking forward to meeting her. Sam writes to a random schedule, squeezed between home educating (unschooling) her son, cooking sporadic, questionable, yet incredibly nutritious meals, all the while steadfastly avoiding anything faintly resembling a real job. Her favourite time to work is late at night when the rest of the world is sleeping – she loves solitude and would have made rather a contented hermit in another life. Writing makes her happy. Illustrating makes her happy. Editing is another story...

Just loved narration and it was very well written indeed. Overwhelmed by how just understanding and love can heal a family with so much hang ups from the past. Brilliant!!!
