Publisher's Synopsis
I bet you've heard it said a thousand times, and it sounds something like this, "Social Media is a weapon, used to bully, spread rumors, and give a false perception of reality." But how many of us hear what is being said but continue to feed into the lies of those hidden deep behind a keyboard?
No one truly understands the aftermath of tragedy until they have experienced it firsthand. However, this truth doesn't seem to shake those that rely on social media to know how they feel about publicly made, heinous accusations. Without hearing from those with first-hand experience, those with a platform weaponize their right to free speech in order to slander those they uneducatedly turn against and crush anyone brave enough to oppose them.
After six years of suppression and censorship, Andy Turner, husband of the late Heather Turner, is breaking his silence. For the first time, Andy will speak about his beloved wife's suicide in a book that begins with a small-town boy fighting his way out of poverty. It will show the story of a tumultuous first marriage, the lasting effects of abuse that would go uncorrected by a failing court system, and a secret life that would be uncovered by officials looking for answers.
Who Turned Up the Silence, shares a deep look into the family and shines a light on those who twisted facts and spun tales for their own fifteen minutes of fame. The book lends itself to be a voice for Andy and the Turner children who are finally free to share intimate details of all they have been through.
