Wall of Silence

Defeating the Giants #1

by Dorey Whittaker

The lies we tell ourselves as children become the truths we live by as adults, and the Miller house was full of lies. Two girls grew up in this house, each taking a different path to survive her abusive childhood. One chose a path of rebellion and self-destruction, while the other played the role of the good girl and caretaker--but both girls knew how to keep secrets.

If it is true that we are only as sick as our secrets, both Miller girls were in real trouble. Distrusting people and resenting a God that would allow their abuse drove these sisters deeper into their secret-keeping world, until the day they let a few godly people behind their protected wall of silence.

Although they were saved, childhood habits are hard to break. Who could have guessed that God would use something as devastating as a murder trial to expose their most painful and protected secrets and finally bring freedom to both of the Miller girls?

[Maya Book · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wall of Silence is an emotional, gripping story about family secrets, trauma, and the complex bond between two sisters. The dual perspectives of Lisa and Susan reveal the raw pain they carry and the barriers they’ve built to protect themselves. The murder trial adds a suspenseful twist, but the heart of the book is about confronting the past and deciding whether it's worth telling. This was a compelling read that kept me hooked until the very end.

This is an awesome book. Full of intrigue, mystery & suspense. I would love to see this made into a movie or miniseries, if they could find suitable actors to portray the characters.

Ok

I have just started this book and who ever edited this book did a terrible job. I noticed so many mistakes, not sure I can finish it I might ask for my money back. I see words are hyphen when they should not be, you have one paragraph on a single page and the rest of the page is blank. The story is interesting, and I will read it, but I would think the author would have checked these mistakes before she let this book be published. I will not be reading anymore of her books.
