⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Her Silent Husband
Sam Vickery
Book Description:
I walk slowly to the kitchen counter, staring out the window as Ceci rocks back and forth on the swing. My beautiful darling girl has been through so much already. How can I tell her that her life is about to change forever?
When the woman from the hospital tells me that my husband Drew is in a coma my world comes crashing down.
In an instant, I see our whole married life flashing before my eyes: the way our children ran into his arms when he came home from work, the way his face lit up when he read to them. So how can what they are saying be true? That he might have done this to himself?
As my family rallies around to help, it becomes clear that Drew’s sister Gemma knows a shocking secret that my devoted husband has been keeping from me. If he wakes up, can he still be the man I love? Or will his secret tear our family apart?
A rollercoaster ride of emotions, Her Silent Husband is a story about family, and the light that can be found in even the darkest moments of our lives. Fans of Jodi Picoult, Kelly Rimmer and Diane Chamberlain will be captivated by this unforgettable page-turner.
My review:
I must admit that I don’t usually read this type of a book. While there was a sight mystery, it was more about how women handle a crisis. But I am glad I did.
Beth and Gemma are both floored by Drew’s attempted suicide and coma. Beth relies on him to help out with their children including one with special needs. And Drew is Gemma’s rock from back when they were in foster care together and their Mom was unable to care for them.
It tugs on your heart strings as the author captured their emotions of grief and anger well. The struggles of not knowing the future, how Beth will keep her family together and pay the bills and how Gemma copes with possibly having no living relatives. And as I read, there were hints of secrets all were keeping that I just wanted to know what they were. My only issue with the book is both Gemma and Beth were very unlikable and unrelatable characters. This would have been a 5 star review if only I were rooting for Drew to awaken and reunite with his family.
I think this one will appeal to women’s fiction lovers and maybe resonate with mothers working hard to keep their families active and happy.
