Inside Silence
Savannah (Savvy) Colter is not easily overwhelmed, which is a good thing, since she is the sheriff of Edwards County. It’s rare to find someone her age— a woman to boot—carrying such responsibility, but over the years, Savvy has more than proven herself worthy of the position…to most.
However, when in a matter of a few weeks an old flame resurfaces in Silence, and two particularly violent murders land on her desk, her steady and predictable life becomes a little much to handle.
New full-time single parent, Nate Gaines, reluctantly returns to his hometown, Silence, to offer his teenage daughter some much-needed stability. As a contractor he can work anywhere, and it’s not like he left a particularly fulfilling life behind, but he’s not too sure how much work he’s going to get here.
Although, some of the changes he encounters in Silence are a surprise. The most shocking one is seeing the woman he once craved like air, now wearing the sheriff’s badge he so despises.
Coming home is definitely not turning out the way he’d envisioned. Especially when a sudden crime spree has the law knocking on his door…again.
5 Stars
I love that the small towns Ms Barker creates make me feel like going home. The realistic and relatable characters always pull me in for long visit. This book is an emotional healing of the past hurts and hope for new beginnings without the shadows of that past.
Savvy has worked her ass off to follow in Brant's footsteps. But not everyone is ready for a female sherriff and when she finds her self looking inside her team, it is a big kick to the gut. She is such a strong woman, keeping her emotions in check when everyone has eyes on her but she also recognized that she has some vulnerabilities just like everyone else.
Nate never thought he would return to Silence the way he was pushed out. He isn't certain the town folk will accept him back but he couldn't think of a better place to bring his struggling teenager for a new start. He knows he has unfinished business with Savvy and maybe she will forgive him.
When the quiet town once again begin to spiral and the safety of the town is threatened. Savvy finds herself digging deep, bringing in some outside help and up to her eyeballs in stress. Nate quickly tries to be there as a safe place and resting comfort.
