When Freya Tanangco was ten, she dreamed of her mother'sdeath days before it happened. Freya's life since has been spentin hiding:from the troubled literary legacy created by her author father, and from thescrutiny of a society that is hostile tovekerspeople who, like her, have enhanced mentalabilities.

When her prophetic dreams take a dangerous turn, Freya finds herself increasingly forced to sacrifice her own anonymityand the fragile safety that comes with itin order to protect those around her.

Interwoven with themes of Filipino Canadian and mixed-raceidentity, fantastical elements from Norse and Filipinomythology, and tarotcard symbolism,The Quiet Is Loudis an intergenerational tale about theconsequences of secrets and what happens when we refuse to let others tell ourstories for us.
