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:
“God had brought her to this olive farm for a purpose. And she would do everything in her power to fulfill it.”
Beyond the Silence is a captivating story! Tracie Peterson and Kimberley Woodhouse have shared a wonderful collaboration, and their love of and attention to historical detail shines throughout the novel!
The characterization is excellent, and several characters captured my heart, especially six-year-old Jimmy. My heart ached for him and his family, and I was delighted when Lillian Porter arrived and helped heal their grief and pain. Brimming with drama and intrigue, the plot of Beyond the Silence is gripping and its spiritual messages are inspiring. I loved this riveting tale and highly recommend it to fans of historical fiction!
