The Language of Silence

She can understand the language of their silence. But she's still learning to hear her own heart.Clara Jenkins, a gifted child psychologist, has just traded the crisp autumns of Ohio for the oppressive humidity of Tampa, Florida. At twenty-six, she's running from the ghost of a dead-end relationship and running toward a coveted, high-stakes job at the Children's Advocacy Center. She's an expert in the language of trauma, but her new life plunges her into a world of real-world pain that textbooks could never prepare her for. While Clara dedicates her days to giving a voice to children silenced by trauma, her nights are filled with a bewildering silence of their own. Her carefully constructed world is soon complicated by the arrival of three very different men, each offering a glimpse of a life she could lead.
