(2025)(The first book in the Breaking Silence series)
A novel by Rebecca Price and Rachel Stoltzfus
When love becomes fear and protection turns to prison, can faith break the chains of a family's darkest secrets?

But behind closed doors, Mary Bertrand and her four children endure years of escalating abuse from patriarch Adam, whose violent rage threatens to destroy everything they hold dear.
