Pepper Faye & the Rhythm of the Room

By: Pepper Carlson-Humphrey

A story for every artist who’s ever felt the silence too loud, and the spotlight too heavy.

Pepper Faye was born between a melody and a pause. She grew up backstage, composing her life around deadlines, decibels, and the demands of performance. Her rhythm was prized. Her silence, overlooked.
Until one day, she stepped out of the spotlight and into a forest where music didn’t demand anything from her at all. In this enchanted grove of sound and stillness, she meets weary musicians, silent instruments, and the echoes of songs once sung only for joy.
Together, they remember what they’d forgotten: that music is not a measure of worth, and that silence, too, has a sacred sound.

This is a story for the burned-out artists, the exhausted empaths, the creatives who’ve given away too much in the name of relevance. It is a reminder that your rhythm doesn’t have to match the world’s tempo, it only needs to lead you back to yourself.

If you’ve ever lost your voice to the noise, this book will help you hear your own heartbeat again.
