The Silence in the Sound

Winner of the 2022 NYC BIG Book Award. A perfect and special gift for book lovers. City girl, Georgette moves back to Martha's Vineyard, having had a yoyful, lasting and memorable experience on the Island when she was a child. Georgette grew up with an alcoholic father, and a mother who enabled him. Her father's addiction took center stage in their world, so she left home as soon as soon as it was feasible. She became a nurse, and returned to Martha's Vineyard to make a new life. Back on MV, Georgette becomes the private nurse for Mr. S. a prize-winning novelist. She also becomes enamored with Dock, a mysterious guy, and a wash-ashore much like herself. Her love for him grows in spite of his unpredictable behavior.  The Silence in the Sound tells a story of the lasting effects of growing up with a parent who has fallen into addiction, and the impact that has on a child's life as they grow older. It also demonstrates resilience, friendship, love, heartbreak, and inner strength.
