Internationally acclaimed, #1 New York Times bestselling author Ruta Sepetys is renowned for writing novels that uncover hidden histories, and for giving a voice to the voiceless. She is Teri Knight’s guest today, with her latest book, “The Fountains of Silence”. Set in Madrid, during the summer of 1957, this riveting novel sheds light on the hidden and all-but-forgotten tragedies of General Franco-era Spain. She talks about how the main characters came to her and what she learned from her research that included stolen babies, a boys home that was filled with horror and the pact of silence when Franco opened up Madrid to outsiders. rutasepetys.com
