Chris St Laurent's Reviews > The Sound of Glass

This story takes place in the low country of SC(a favorite vacation spot of mine), the author captures the southern setting beautifully. Merrit who is widowed and lives in Maine inherits a house in Beaufort SC that belonged to her husband’s family, she gets down there and her estranged step mother Loralee and her son show up at her door. Loralee is much wiser than her appearance of revealing clothes, high heels and make up, she spills out her tidbits of wisdom throughout the story and writes them in her journal for her son. Merrit is very guarded in her protective shell, the characters are wonderfully rich and well developed.
This book is a mystery that starts with a plane crash, slowly piece by piece like bread crumbs to follow the mystery is revealed and keeps the pages turning.
This book has so much to offer, domestic violence is a theme but there is so much more, healing, relationships, grief/loss, loving people and life, you really ought to read this.
