The Price of Silence

A No Tears For Black Girls Story

By: J.C. Reedburg

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

In Atlanta, silence is survival. But breaking it might save them all.

At Queen’s Crown Salon, every style comes with a story—and some stories are dangerous to tell.

When women start vanishing and the city’s most powerful police family closes ranks, salon owner Quanda and her circle of stylists refuse to stay quiet. As secrets unravel and danger creeps closer, Tasha, Roxie, and their found family must risk everything to protect each other—and to expose the truth behind the Rivers dynasty’s legacy of corruption.

Detective Vega and Officer Rodriguez are determined to break the cycle, but justice in Atlanta comes at a price. For every woman who dares to speak, there’s another forced into silence. For every survivor, a story the city would rather forget.

In a world where silence is survival, breaking it might be the only way to save them all.

The Price of Silence is a gripping, lyrical novel about sisterhood, survival, and the power of community. For the women of Queen’s Crown, the fight isn’t just for justice—it’s for the right to be seen, heard, and free.
