Colman, known for an unnaturally keen sense of hearing, is shocked when he hears God tell him to preach to the McLeans. A failed attempt to run away leaves Colman sick and suffering in the last place he wanted to be-McLean territory. Nursed by herbalist Ivy Gordon-a woman whose birthmark has made her an outcast-he's hindered in his calling by Serepta's iron grip on the region and his uncle's desire to break that grip. But appearances can be deceiving, and he soon learns that the face of evil doesn't look like he expected.]]> | When Silence Sings by Sarah Thomas, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
