Laura Brandon's promise to her dying father was simple: to visit an elderly woman she'd never heard of before. A woman who remembers nothing-except the distant past. Visiting Sarah Tolley seemed a small enough sacrifice to make. But Laura's promise results in another death: her husband's. And after their five-year-old daughter, Emma, witnesses her father's suicide, Emma refuses to talk about it - to talk at all.Frantic and guilt ridden, Laura contacts the only person who may be able to help. A man she's met only once - six years before. A man who doesn't know he's Emma's real father. Guided only by a child's silence and an old woman's fading memories, the two unravel a tale of love and despair, of bravery and unspeakable evil. A tale that's shrouded in silence...and that unbelievably links them all.

This story explores a very sensitive and dark topic of our history while mixing in romance and a very real day to day perspective of the aging process.

Painfully beautiful

Great story! I couldn’t stop listening! I gave the performance a lower score because the performer was overly dramatic and talked through her nose.

One of the best books ever!

Couldn't stop listening

Narration was overcome only because the story and the writing were so great as is normally the case with this author. But very hard to put up with the whimpering whispery tone of the narrator

Great story, hard to listen

OMG! This was one of my favorite books ever! I cried real tears!! My daughter came running in to see why I was crying and couldn’t believe I was crying over a book! LOL But seriously, this is a must listen to! You won’t be disappointed.

Break Out the Kleenex!!

This story was not a rewrite of a story I have read hundreds of times. It was very interesting and kept me guessing. I loved the story of the character of Sarah who is the old women described in the summary.

Problem...the reader was really hard to listen to. I was loving the story so I literally had to force myself to get used to that voice. Eventually I was able to get passed the voice and focus on the story.

Its too bad because I think many will try to listen but give up after a few minutes of that voice.

New and Great Story
