Synopsis

When teenager Allison Glenn is sent to prison for a heinous crime, she leaves behind her reputation as Linden Falls' golden girl forever. Her parents deny the existence of their once-perfect child. Her former friends exult her downfall. Her sister, Brynn, faces whispered rumors every day in the hallways of their small Iowa high school. It's Brynn--shy, quiet Brynn--who carries the burden of what really happened that night. All she wants is to forget Allison and the past that haunts her. But then Allison is released to a halfway house, and is more determined than ever to speak with her estranged sister. Now their legacy of secrets is focused on one little boy. And if the truth is revealed, the consequences will be unimaginable for the adoptive mother who loves him, the girl who tried to protect him and the two sisters who hold the key to all that is hidden.

Revue de presse :

Beautifully written, compassionately told, and relentlessly suspenseful. --Diane Chamberlain on 'The Weight of Silence'

Deeply moving and exquisitely lyrical, this is a powerhouse of a debut novel. --Tess Gerritsen on 'The Weight of Silence'

This is one of those books, where you are desperate to get to the end, to find out the outcome, but at the same time,DON'T want the novel to end!!!!!! I thoroughly enjoyed it - even if I DID have to leave it several times,and I was very sad to have finished it, but wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anybody I knew!!!! ENJOY!!!!!!!!! --Amazon Customer Review for 'The Weight of Silence'
