The shadows over this olive grove hide more than just the truth.
Lillian Porter has always wanted to fulfill her mother’s dream of going west, so when she hears about a nanny position in Angels Camp, California, she defies her grandfather and takes a chance on a new future. But she quickly wonders if she made the right choice. Murky rumors swirl around Woodward Colton, her new employer, but the gossip doesn’t match the man Lillian comes to know.
Still, something dark did happen in the family’s past. Lillian’s seven-year-old charge hasn’t spoken in over a year. Gently, Lillian tries to coax him out of his shell, hoping he’ll one day feel safe enough to share what scared him. But the Colton olive farm is no longer a safe place. Lillian encounters suspicious characters on their land and mysterious damage done to the farm. When the housekeeper is brutally attacked, the town once again suspects the worst. Will discovering the truth help Lillian clear the name of the man she has come to love–or will it endanger her even more?

MY THOUGHTS
Tracie Peterson and Kimberley Woodhouse join forces on an engrossing historical tale that sweeps the reader back to California in the early 1890's. The tragic prologue immediately stirred my emotions and wrapped little Jimmy around my heart. Lillian and Woody garnered my sympathies and affections as well, and I ached for the judgmental attitudes exhibited by the townspeople toward Woody. Intrigue and suspense keep the story moving along, making it virtually impossible to stop at the end of each chapter. An array of eclectic characters gives the town depth and puts a unique spin on this satisfying tale. Grab your copy of Beyond the Silence today!
