Blurb:
After years of suffering, the revelation that she is now pregnant with her abuser's child was too much for Jessica Miller. She tried to end it all with a knife in the bath.
She was saved in time, but now Jessica is learning that survival is only the first step to healing. A mother and a small town who seem to care more about the impropriety of her condition than the horrors that caused it, an inability to share her feelings with the man she loves, and struggles both internal and external over the fate of her unborn child, conspire to crush her from all sides.
As events in her life grow ever darker, can Jessica find the strength to find her way toward the light and break a cycle of abuse? If she can't, it won't just be her leading a life of suffering this time: it will be her child.
Reviews:
"Fans of V. C. Andrews will rejoice in the style. Few will be able to put down this mesmerizing book." -- Kathleen Walls, author of Last Step
"It will challenge the reader with a spectrum of intelligent well-written characters, and a full range of emotional depth." -- Dehanna Bailee, author of True Nature
"Annette Gisby did a fantastic job with Silent Screams. I highly recommend this engaging page turner. Jessica, the main character, must suffer not only as a victim of molestation, but as a victim of narrow minded people and family members who'd rather not know the truth." - Elizabeth A. Merz, author of The Last Gate Series.
"Annette Gisby "gets it right," in spades, as she leads her readers through the convoluted functioning of a family devoted to keeping the truth under wraps - at any cost. I found the ending, with its typically Gisby ironic twist, an especially realistic touch." - Nina M. Osier, Eppie Award winning author.
