Publisher's Summary

A beautiful, opposites attract lesbian romance about hearing the music in your heart.

Rising star cellist Kate Flynn is new to Chicago and her job at the Windy City Chamber Ensemble. On day one, she is surprised by the board's intriguing president, Vivian Kensington. Not only does the woman come with a formidable reputation, but she's also deaf.

However, between a familiar face Kate isn't ready to see again and the difficulties of being a single mom, she isn't sure Chicago is the right place for her.

When tendrils of friendship develop with Vivian, Kate finds beneath her prickly ice queen persona unexpected kindness and warmth. Is the promise of more enough to make her stay? Can two such different women, one from a world of sound and one a world of silence, truly understand one another?

Contains mature themes.

Hmmm

Professional cellist wanting to plant roots in a place longer than at least a year for her son’s stability and her sanity.

The Loudest Silence has an ace up it sleeve in a form of the topic of hearing. The novel delved deep into the world of the deaf community and successfully put me, a reader, in the shoe of a deaf person living in a hearing world. It was quite eye opening and helped me understand how isolating and alone they feel living in our world. In a positive note, the book also made me realise that hearing for the deaf is not end all or be all, that being deaf IS a part of someone’s identity just like being a lesbian is mine. Other than what I mentioned above, this book discusses intimately the topic of chosen family, having a tiny human in the mix and how love is just not enough sometimes, actions need to follow.
