Her Silence by S. T. Ashman @stashmanauthor @ashmanbooks.bsky.social @hambright_pr #BookSky #HerSilence


the setup…
Lacey Alderwyn is a married to Brian and they’re the harried parents of three children. Both are looking forward to getting away with their best friend Amanda and her wealthy husband Zach Nabb to their luxurious lake house. Her mother Nicole Kolter is taking care of her kids while they’re gone. Lacey picks up Zach since his office is near her job and they’ll ride together to the lake. However, Nicole gets a call at 4:00 am from the police to come to the station. Lacey was found unconscious in the woods covered in blood and with a head injury. Zach was nearby in his car, stabbed forty-four times. She’s completely traumatized…and mute. Lacey is unable to talk or do much more than stare ahead lifelessly but it doesn’t deter the police from charging her with murder. Nicole knows her daughter is innocent and begins the fight of her life to save her.the heart of the story…
Nicole is a warrior and she’ll not let anything get in her way to get Lacey released. Meanwhile, Lacey still is silent, not uttering a word or doing anything other than existing. Nicole is up against relentless forces but never gives up and is just as formidable in her own way.the bottom line…
This is that story that has extreme highs, lows and everything in between and I felt it all. Nicole is also that mother who fights with everything within her to protect her child no matter the odds and she was incredible. I’m so glad I listened to friends and got my hands on this book. I I went where it led without a clue how it would land, completely unprepared for that ending and emotional spent. A mother’s love has no boundaries.
