Sookie's Silence by Marisa Masterson Review

 

This was my first book by this author and I really enjoyed it. I had chosen it because it was recommended for one of my reading challenges. I needed a book that had a deaf or mute character. 

Sookie had lost her ability to speak because of an accident she was in. She and her sister were struggling to make ends meet when she was given the opportunity to move west and become a wife and mother to a widower and his young daughter. She was also needed as a school teacher for the town in Nebraska. 

Unbeknownst to the sisters, there was someone who had some nefarious plans for them. I loved this added suspense in this marriage of convenience story. I also loved seeing Sookie and Onie's relationship develop. 

There were a couple of things that bothered me a bit, so I did lower my rating by one star, but all in all this was a great story, and a quick read.
