About the Book

Echoes of a Silent Song

Title: Echoes of a Silent Song
Series: Melodies and Memories #1
Author: Amanda Wen
Publisher: Kregel Publications
Release Date: October 21, 2025
Genre: Split-time Romance

A split-time romance from an award-winning author

When a choral composer and conductor falls victim to creative block, he resorts to his fallback plan of teaching high school choir. Callum Knight’s goal at Peterson High is simple: rediscover his muse, extract himself from teaching, and get back to Boston as quickly as possible.

As the long-suffering accompanist at the high school, Peterson-native Blair Emerson has watched the revolving door of choir directors and their negative impact on her choirs over the last few years. She is less than impressed when a disheveled Callum stumbles in on his first day.

But then they discover an unsigned, unfinished, and handwritten choral composition by a clear musical genius. Blair recalls rumors of Iris, a Peterson student from the 1970s who composed music but was found dead during her senior year. Blair and Callum work to determine if the piece is hers, and the truth they uncover shakes both of them to the core.

With rhythm and flair, Amanda Wen takes readers on an unexpected journey into the depths of a small town’s history in this riveting first book in the Melodies and Memories duology.

My review:

The conflict between Callum and Blair was gripping right from the start and I loved the chemistry that they both tried to ignore. When they come together for the common goal of discovering who wrote an unfinished composition, the mystery that unravels fans the flames of their romance in wonderfully sweet ways. This wasn’t just a story of romance but also a page turning suspense and beautifully written inspirational message of our value in God’s eyes. While this story tackles some tough issues of mental health, it did so in a very respectful and gentle way. I definitely recommend this book.

What I enjoyed most about this book:

Wonderfully sweet romance

What I didn’t like about this book:

Cringey slang
