Breaking the silence (Mira Books)

"My husband shot himself in our bedroom. When I got home, Emma was standing at the bottom of the stairs, screaming." Since that awful day, Laura Brandon's little girl hasn't uttered a word. When a psychiatrist suggests that Emma won't talk because she's terrified of men, Laura is guilt-ridden. To help Emma, she needs to know what unspeakable secret lies behind her husband's suicide. Laura thought her family was perfect, but her quest leads her to a shocking truth. For her child's sake, should her father's sins be kept silent? For fans of JODI PICOULT, this is a must read.
