Book Review: When Silence Sings




When Silence Sings
A Novel
by Sarah Loudin Thomas



Bethany House Publishers

Pub Date 05 Nov 2019


I am reviewing a copy of When Silence Things through Bethany House Publishers and Netgalley:


In the Appalachian town of Thurman, West Virgina, Colman Harpe works for the C&O.  What Colman Harpe really wants is to be a preacher and lead his own congregation though.  When his cousin is gunned down by a member of the rival McLean Clan, and the clan matriarch Serepta Mclean, taunts him by coming to his tent revival in their area Colman Harpe chooses peace over the act of seeking revenge, which the rest of his family has chosen.






Colman who has exceptionally good hearing is shocked when he hears the Lord tell him he needs to preach to the McLeans.  He decides to run away, but fails miserably and ends up getting sick in the last place he wants to be Mclean Territory.  Ivy Gordon a herbalist who has been made an outcast because of her birthmark nurses him back to health.  The problem is his work is hindered by Serepta’s iron grip on the region, as well as his uncle’s desire to break that grip.  Colman soon discovers the bad guys aren’t always the ones you think they are.






If you are looking for a book that has a historical setting as well as intrigue, and we,l developed characters, a book that will leave you turning the pages from the first page to the last I highly recommend When Silence Things.



I give When Silence Things five out of five stars!


Happy Reading!
