The Sounds of Secrets


Book Description

I've been in love with him forever. But to him, I've always been off-limits. Until the night that changed everything. Maybe it was the alcohol. Maybe it was the secrets we shared. Maybe he finally opened his eyes and saw me. By the time the sun rose, I'd lost him again, my heart shattering on his parting words: "It was a mistake." So I ran. Ran until I was thousands of miles away, in a country I didn't know, surrounded by people who only made me miss him more. I never expected him to follow me ... or to pry more secrets from my soul. In exchange, he gave me more of his secrets too. The more he let me into his heart, the more I loved him, but I'm afraid that some secrets may be too big to overcome.

It is the beginning of a journey of discovery that will lead her to unexpected places. As she navigates her burgeoning womanhood, Esi tries to reconcile her own ideals and dreams with her family’s complicated past and troubled present, as well as society’s many double standards that limit her and other women.
