Description
UNSPOKEN WORDS. Silver Medal Winner in Contemporary Fiction by Global Book Awards
For years, Jane Landry has carried a secret that could break hearts and heal them all at once.
Her son, Christopher Marcus, is the light of her life-but he's also the boy no one knows about. Not his father, her ex-husband Mark, nor his wife Maggie, or his sister Suzanne, Jane's best friends from childhood. Now, with a cancer diagnosis threatening her future, Jane must summon the courage to confess her secret. She prays they'll embrace Christopher as family before time runs out.
But just as Jane takes the first step, tragedy strikes-Mark is killed in an accident after learning he has a son. The devastating loss leaves Jane grappling with how to face Maggie and Suzanne, the two women she's avoided for years but now desperately needs. Her truth risks alienating them, yet the stakes are higher than ever. Christopher needs a home. Jane needs to know her boy will be loved if she's no longer there to protect him.
As Jane uncovers the secrets Maggie and Suzanne have been hiding, she realizes she's not the only one carrying the weight of the past. Old wounds, unexpected betrayals, and the search for forgiveness weave together in a story about love, loss, and the lengths we'll go to for family.
Set against the vivid backdrop of New Orleans, Unspoken Words explores the messy, beautiful journey of redemption and the bonds that hold us together -even when stretched to their breaking point.
Don't miss the discussion questions.

She shares the joys and agonies of characters and often wishes their stories would continue far beyond "The End." She lives in Metro-Atlanta with her very patient husband and their three fur babies-Jake, Maxence, and Sugar. Linda's addicted to Cajun food and Japanese food. She's a fan of smooth jazz. She will deny traditional jazz music hurts her ears-that could get her banished from her hometown, New Orleans. However, being half-Japanese, her current life's adventure includes learning enough Kanji to be able to read a Japanese newspaper.
