About Song of Silence:

Music taught Lucy love and beauty. Could silence teach her hope?

Lucy and Charlie Tuttle agree on one thing: they're committed to each other for life. Trouble is, neither of them expected life to look like this. Charlie retired early, but Lucy is devoted to a long-term career . . . until the day she has no choice.

Forced to retire from her position as music educator in a small Midwestern K-8 school, Lucy can only watch helplessly as the program her father started years ago disintegrates before her eyes. As the music fades and a chasm separates her form the passion of her heart, Lucy wonders if her faith's song has gone silent, too. The musical score of her life seems to be missing all the notes.

When a simple misstep threatens to silence Lucy forever, a young boy and his soundless mother change the way she sees---and hears---everything.

My thoughts:
It took me awhile to get into the story because I couldn't seem to relate to Lucy's perspective about losing her passion. As I continued reading, it slowly dawned on me that I am a lot like her. My passion is taking care of my husband and sons, if anything were to happen to one of them I would be very lost.  The HHATT club made me realize how important it is for me to find other women friends to have conversations with. I used to think that seeking professional help was a sign of weakness but now I can see that it is really a sign of strength. Lucy had to learn how God's plans are different from our own, if we trust in him all things will work out for his glory. This is the third book I have read by Cynthia, once again she didn't disappoint me. Purchase a copy here or on Amazon.
