Some family secrets demand to be told . . .
Connie lost her words at the age of five, the day she witnessed her mother and father's untimely death.
Since then she has been all but mute, only being able to choke out a few select words. Now, years on, Connie's husband is on his deathbed and all she can do is quietly sit by his side.
But there are so many dreadful secrets locked up in Connie's silent prison. And time is running out to set them free . . .
Rebecca Tinnelly lives amongst the twisted sessile oaks of the Somerset coast with her two children and two cats. No doubt fuelled by the stories she was told by her stepmother, a consultant pathologist, Rebecca is most interested in writing about the darker side of society and family life. After a successful career in sales, most recently selling wicker coffins, she waved goodbye to the office to pursue a career in writing. And, when not writing, enjoys baking the odd cake or two, reading, practising yoga or posting book reviews on YouTube. Her debut novel, Never Go There, was published to rave reader reviews. Don't Say A Word is her second novel.
