The Secret Language of Sisters

By: Luanne Rice

Narrated by: Kate Rudd, Brittany Pressley

New York Times best-selling adult author Luanne Rice makes her dazzling YA debut with this gorgeous, pause-resisting story of love, hope, and redemption.

When Ruth Ann (Roo) McCabe responds to a text message while she's driving, her life as she knows it ends. The car flips, and Roo winds up in a hospital bed, paralyzed. Silent. Everyone thinks she's in a coma, but Roo has locked-in syndrome - she can see and hear and understand everything around her, but no one knows it. She's trapped inside her own body, screaming to be heard.

Mathilda (Tilly) is Roo's sister and best friend. She was the one who texted Roo and inadvertently caused the accident. Now Tilly must grapple with her overwhelming guilt and her growing feelings for Roo's boyfriend, Newton - the only other person who seems to get what Tilly is going through. But Tilly might be the only person who can solve the mystery of her sister's condition - who can see through Roo's silence to the truth underneath. Somehow, through medicine or miracles, will both sisters find a way to heal?

I Love this book so much

I love this book so much because it is really inspirational I feel like I can connect to the book and see the story through my eyes and I can feel the pain that the character is feeling. So I give this book a 5/5. Thankyou

Amazing book <3

I read this book when I was 12/13 years old, and when it came up on audible I took my chance immediately. This story is so beautiful, I hope one day it could be translated into a movie

Captures you from the beginning

This tugged at my heart and will forever change me. This book was very well written. The storyline is sensitive but much needed. You can't help but fall in love with both sisters. The journey will capture your heart. The narrators are two of my favorite and did a fabulous job. It's going to be hard to start another book after this one.
