The Light in the Sound is the character-driven and often comical story of a spirited young woman, Rachel Richardson, who works in a porn shop in Seattle, Washington. Her estranged family lives a thousand miles away and she has a bunch of wretched friends. She really just wants to be loved, but this isn’t a love story. It’s about combating isolation. Rachel is tired of walking through life half asleep—literally and figuratively, because she also suffers from night terrors. Counting on others becomes increasingly difficult, though. As she attempts to make new connections, familial wounds grow deeper and deceptions multiply. Her sense of disconnection from family, work, and friends grows, resulting in her attempting to cut all ties, turn inward and numb herself emotionally. Ultimately, in the wake of losing everything—yet again—Rachel is forced to discover how many times one person can start over before self-destructing.

Review “Vanessa Gonzales' debut novel The Light in the Sound is unusually smart, containing as it does characters and insights that give us a cool and often funny look into the Millennial generation. But the story is also realistic and compelling, showing the struggle of a generation trying to find its way in a world in which our traditional national assumptions were abandoned leaving these wonderful young people flying blind.” —Philip F. Deaver, Flannery O’Connor award-winning author of Silent Retreats “From the very first sentence of The Light in the Sound by Vanessa Gonzales, the reader wants to know the story of Rachel, a young woman with a troubled past. A thought- provoking coming of age story, this book explores the full range of relationships: boyfriends, girlfriends, and ultimately family. Through it all, Rachel is brave and full of hope. She not only wins our sympathy but our admiration.” —Karen Mann, author of The Woman of La Mancha and The Saved Man
From the Inside Flap "In a dysfunctional world, Vanessa Gonzales deftly weaves together religion, family, relationships, and love through the eyes of Rachel, a disaffected young woman working in a porn store, who is left with a better--but fragile--understanding of her world. With humor and pathos, Gonzales creates genuinely sympathetic characters whom we have all met and surely recognize." -TJ Rivard, published stories Café Irreal, Flashquake, SmokeLong Quarterly, Gulf Stream Magazine, and Pushcart Prize nominee "A spirited debut novel by the exuberant new voice of Vanessa Gonzales, The Light in the Sound takes you into the zany, sometimes dark world of streets and bars where good kids get away from bad families and grow themselves into people worth knowing. At the heart of this novel is smart, spunky Rachel Richardson, once a high school runaway, now 24, employed in a porn shop selling edible underwear and snacking on penis chocolates while trying to figure out a better future for herself. Maybe this future will include her old crush Justin from her hometown working in a nearby camera shop or maybe the gorgeous, intuitive, crazy girl Cerise, but for sure it will include the truth and imagination and morality that were absent from her broken, hypocritical Mormon home. Despite panic and wee hour visions, Rachel is one plucky character, honest and winsome and playful and funny, grounded, loveable, a bit wacky, courageous, insightful and aware. It is sheer delight to take this coming of age journey with her." -Julie Brickman, author of What Birds Can Only Whisper and Two Deserts

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Stunningly descriptive and too enticing to put down. By Dylan I have read many books in this genre, and this one clearly stands out.The Light in the Sound is perfectly descriptive and draws you in from the first few paragraphs, connecting you with the characters.Vanessa paints a more realistic portrait of your average young adult, stumbling to find a place in this world that makes sense.With her words you can transport yourself into the very rooms the characters are in. I wanted to keep reading and keep digesting the story of Rachel. Disconnect with her parents, and utter defiance of religion is something I think many can relate to.One of my favorite novels to have had the pleasure of reading. You will devour this as soon as you get your hands on it.
4 of 5 people found the following review helpful. I loved it. I felt connected to the characters By Amazon Customer Beind an avid all day reader turned new busy Mom, it has been hard for me to find time to read. Most importantly its been hard to find a book that I *had* to make time to read. The Light in the Sound was the first book I have not been able to put down since I was pregnant with my now 18 month old daughter. I loved it. I felt connected to the characters, I felt happy, I felt deep sadness in the bottom of my heart, I wanted more, and I was able to escape to a different place in real life. Seriously all the things I could want in a book and the first book in so long that I haven't wanted to put down.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A fun, witty and eccentric story you'll love By Jesse A. This book was simply excellent. The characters are well developed, and it is a refreshing change from typical relationships in novels. It is engaging and fun, while offering something very different than anything I've read in a long time. I finished it in a day, which is no easy task with four kids. It was that good!
