Echoes of a Silent Song

by Amanda Wen

Conductor Callum and accompanist Blair discover an unfinished choral work whose history points back to a music student named Iris who died in the 1970s. Their effort to understand the composition becomes an investigation into the people, ambitions, and silences surrounding Iris's final year. As past and present begin to echo one another, the music forces long-hidden grief and truth into the open. This dual-time Christian novel uses a musical mystery to explore memory, healing, friendship, and the legacies people leave unfinished.
