Every love leaves an echo...What do you do when you
discover your whole life was a lie? In Mary Carter's
unforgettable new novel, one woman is about to find out...
At twenty-eight, Lacey Gears is exactly where she wants to
be. An up-and-coming, proudly Deaf artist in Philadelphia,
she's in a relationship with a wonderful man and rarely
thinks about her difficult childhood in a home for
disabled orphans. That is, until Lacey receives a letter
that begins, "You have a sister. A twin to be
exact..."Learning that her identical, hearing twin,
Monica, experienced the normal childhood she was denied
resurrects all of Lacey's grief, and she angrily sets out
to find Monica and her biological parents. But the truth
about Monica's life, their brief shared past, and the
reason for the twins' separation is far from simple. And
for every one of Lacey's questions that's answered, others
are raised, more baffling and profound.
Complex, moving,
and beautifully told, is a novel about sisterhood, love of
every shape, and the stories we cling to until real life
comes crashing in..."At once a story about love and loss,
family and friends, the world of the hearing and that of
the deaf, satisfies on many levels." ?Holly Chamberlin,
author of The Family Beach House "Gripping, entertaining
and honest. This is a unique, sincere story about the
invisible, unbreakable bonds of sisterhood that sustain us
no matter how far they're buried."
