Captivating Duel Story line
Rating:
4 / 5
This is my second book by this author and I do like her style. This was a little more unpredictable then the first one I read, "Her Mother's Shadow." I liked this story because you are actually reading two stories at one time. It's like reading two love stories at the same time. The plot is a little far fetched but it still really held my interest and I found it hard to put it down. I read it in one day. I recommend it to anyone who just wants a book you can get lost in.
Absolutely absorbing and diverting!

I recently had a very stressful three-day weekend during which I could barely sit still. But in an attempt to get my mind off the stress, I picked up this book. Wow, I couldn't put it down and didn't want it to end. I really loved the story, it was sad, beautiful, happy and 'all that'. I actually shed a tear at the satisfying end of the novel. Good job Chamberlain! I will be reading more of her work as soon as possible.
Thank you to the author for getting my mind off some awful stress.
A great author!!

My first book by Chamberlain and I was VERY impressed. I read this book in about five hours nonstop. I couldn't put it down!!After her father died, Laura Brandon felt obligated to carry out his last wish...meet an old woman in a nursing home that is in the early stages of alzheimers. Laura is mystified and has no idea what to expect. What she didn't expect was her husband's violent reaction to her visiting Sarah Tolley. Going against her husbands wishes, Laura visits Sarah with no more answers to the truth than before. When she comes home, she finds her daughter screaming and her husband dead from a self inflicted gun shot wound. Before the day is over, Laura realizes that her five year old daughter, Emma, has not uttered a single word. After eight months have passed with no progress with Emma, Laura remembers her promise to her father and again visits Sarah Tolley. She has no idea if she should believe the extrordinary tales of terror that Sarah has to tell her, but she listens anyway. She also does the one thing that she swore she would never do...she seeks out Emma's birth father with hope that Emma will learn that not all men are angry and yell at little girls. Dylan Geer is stupified when he receives the call from Laura. Not only does he deny it, but it also spikes his anger. When Laura tricks him into looking at a picture of Emma, there is no doubt in his mind that the little girl is his. Now he'll do all he can to help Emma, and help Laura who he is developing deeper feelings for than he expected. Breaking the Silence is a heartbreaking tale in the present and the past. The way that Laura, Dylan and Emma come together is heartwarming, while the tale of Sarah and Joe Tolley is heartbreaking. There were many times that tears came to my eyes throughout this book, especially at the end. If you like a great book, don't miss this one!
