Without a Word

by Reanne Singer

Three women. Three voices. Three lives touched by a man who was every bit as elusive in life as he appears to be in death. Olivia Rosen is saddened to discover that her dear friend, Jason Carlisle, has taken his own life. But when Olivia and her parents attend the church service, they learn that Jason was not who he said he was. When his widow informs them that there is no trace of Jason with Social Security or the Marines, it appears that there never was a Jason Carlisle. So who was this man who for years had been such an integral part of Olivia's family? Ina Gottlieb, Olivia's mother, knows more about Jason's turbulent past than do others in the family. The secrets she holds might explain the unusual circumstances surrounding his life and death. But does Ina know enough to completely understand Jason's true identity? Catherine, Jason's deceased mother, may be the only person to fully comprehend the burdens and secrets of her son's life. But from the Other Side, is there anything she can do to change the course of his life? Or is she merely a spectator, an observer of this chilling drama? These women's lives are intertwined, weaving together a unique understanding of the man known as Jason Carlisle. Suspense novel? Character-driven story? Without a Word is both those things and more.
