Alicia, a prominent
painter, is arrested for the murder of her husband. The situation leaves her
unable to communicate and the courts sentence her to a forensic unit to live
forever in silence.
Theo
Faber, a criminal psychotherapist, feels he can help Alicia find her voice. But
Theo has his own inner demons. The two work together to discover what happened
that fateful night.
The
writing was memorizing. Both Theo’s and Alicia’s stories keep the reader
enthralled. The climax comes as a total surprise and is more shocking because
of it. I had heard about this book for a while. So glad I took a chance on this
author.

story of a woman who goes off to war as a helicopter pilot in Iraq.
Before leaving, her husband, a lawyer, tells her he no longer loves her. Dealing with

now play an active role in the family and learn how to deal with two children

Rather

military families both at home and at war. Also explored is the aftermath of
war. Governments who ask their soldiers to make the ultimate sacrifice must
support them when they come home broken and scared.
This is a fantastic, yet heartbreaking
story of sacrifice, love, commitment, responsibility. Kristin Hannah is one of
my favorite authors.
