The Silent Gift (Abridged) Audiobook

" I like books set in the early 1900's. This was a touching book about a mother's love, and the length she will go for her child. I liked all the different characters that Mary and Jack came in contact with. Some of them even surprised me. "

" Not bad. Rather wholesome, and sometimes a little to tragic, but overall, pretty good. "

" Very interesting... a little wierd in a good way. Not a Typical book at all. Beautiful story of a mother and her relationship with her son. "

" This book was OK. I don't always expect fiction to be completely realistic or believable - in fact, I think I'm one who can often see beyond the story to a deeper message. I appreciate the merit of the author's message, but I find the holes in this story absolutely gaping and the symbolism shallow. I can't help but to think that if I were the one who submitted this story to a publisher it would've been rejected outright. (It helps to have famous family connections . . .) "

" This books was so depressing... too many sad things happened to this family... "

" I really enjoyed this book. It provided a very good discussion for my book discussion group. "

" Very good could hardly put it down "

" Though I am a religiious person, I really did not like this book. There is, in literature, a need for "suspension of disbelief" in an unlikely plot. I just could not get past the basic premise of the book or some of the too-good-to-be-true coincidences. "

" I was going to give this 3 stars, but the last few pages really caught me. It brought tears to my eyes. The mother's emotional struggle to do right for her child, at any cost was extremely powerful. This book reminds us that people should never underestimate the bond between a mother and a child. "
