About this listen

Stephen boards a Caribbean cruise meant to celebrate his fortieth birthday — one he was supposed to share with his twin sister, Niamh. But Niamh is gone, and Stephen is left adrift in grief, guilt, and questions. Why didn’t he see the signs? Why didn’t she say goodbye?

As the ship charts its sun-drenched course through turquoise waters, Stephen navigates a more personal journey of memory, healing, and unexpected encounters. On the ship, he meets a series of performers who teach him lessons that slowly help him stitch his shattered world back together.

The Speaker's Shanty is a novel about the life-changing power of our words. For anyone who feels their voice has been diminished but is now ready to speak up.
