Eloquent Silence

by Sandra Brown

Overview

In a vibrant New Mexico art community, a career-driven young teacher is irresistibly drawn to a sexy and mysterious TV star with a dark past.

Lauri is a dedicated young teacher for the deaf. Her past conceals a wound still unhealed, her present is a facade, and she uses her career to hide her loneliness. Drake, daytime TV's most popular actor, has two secrets — the dead wife he can't forget and his daughter Jennifer, a hearing-impaired child who may become a pawn between the man and the woman she needs most.

Now, in a chic New Mexico arts community, the three are given a chance to be a family . . . but each of them must find a voice to express the deepest fears and greatest needs of the heart.

Editorial Reviews

Brown has developed two likable characters, teacher Laura Parrish and the father of one of her pupils, Drake Rivington. Joyce Bean's impeccable and compassionate delivery adds intensity to this story of a deaf teacher's love for her young pupil, Jennifer. Listeners will be enchanted by Jennifer's struggle to learn to sign and speak, as well as the developing romance between Drake and Laura amid a gorgeous New Mexico setting. Using a bright timbre and various pitches, Bean reflects the many characters involved in this sparkling romance. S.C.A. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine
