Book Review:
''Breaking the Silence'' by Diane Chamberlain is a powerful and emotionally charged story about a family shattered by tragedy and the secrets that threaten to destroy them. ''My husband shot himself in our bedroom. When I got home, Emma was standing at the bottom of the stairs, screaming.'' Since that awful day, Laura Brandon's little girl hasn't uttered a word.

When a psychiatrist suggests that Emma won't talk because she's terrified of men, Laura is guilt-ridden. To help Emma, she needs to know what unspeakable secret lies behind her husband's suicide. Laura thought her family was perfect, but her quest leads her to a shocking truth. For her child's sake, should her father's sins be kept silent?

Chamberlain is a marvellously gifted author, and every book she writes is a gem. Breaking the Silence is a must-read for fans of Jodi Picoult and women's fiction. It's heartfelt, thought-provoking, and beautifully written. Highly recommended!
