The Language of Silence

Audiobook
Nobody in the family talks about Ellen's grandmother Lola, who was swallowed up by the circus and emerged as a woman who tamed tigers and got away scot-free for killing her husband. When Ellen's husband, Wayne, beats her nearly to death, she runs to the only place she knows where a woman can completely disappear - the same Big Top that once sheltered her grandmother. Though the circus moves from one town to the next, Wayne tracks it, and Ellen, relentlessly. At the same time, Ellen learns more about the heritage that is hers for the taking. With her violent husband hot on her trail, Ellen must learn to stand up and break the cycle of abuse, and pass down a story of love and redemption to her children.
