From the author of The Air He Breathes and The Flame Within , a love story that will need to overcome all obstacles.
At just 10 years old, Maggie May is already certain she'll marry Brooks Griffin, her brother's best friend. But he avoids her at all costs—the last thing boys that age want is to be around girls, yuck!—but deep down, Brooks actually likes that annoying girl, who's always giggling and skipping after him.
However, on what would be the happiest day of little Maggie's life—the day of her fake wedding to Brooks—something terrible happens. She witnesses a terrifying event on the riverbank, and the trauma is so intense that Maggie loses her voice. Unsure how to cope, the family finds themselves in a difficult situation and tries to seek help, but disagrees on the best approach, and no treatment is successful. Over the years, Maggie learns to live with panic attacks on her own and, unable to leave the house, finds refuge in books.
The only person capable of understanding her is Brooks, who is always by her side. A childhood crush blossoms into a beautiful teenage friendship, until one day they can no longer deny their love for each other. For Maggie, Brooks is her safe haven, the only one who can hear her silence. For Brooks, Maggie is his anchor, the person who will never give up on him. But will the strong feeling that unites them withstand an unexpected event that will force them to navigate different paths?
Brittainy C. Cherry once again enchants us with a captivating narrative. The Silence of the Waters , the third volume in the Elements series, introduces us to two people who loved each other, but didn't love themselves. A story about life and death. About love and broken promises. About moments.
