![]() ![]() ![]() I felt like Nora wasn't the only one who didn't remember what was going on, and without the usual recaps in the beginning the story it got a little frustrating. I would also recommend reading the first two books before Silence. Nora's lack of knowing created more filler than possibilities and took up a good half of the book. While I appreciate the use of amnesia as a writing device to fuel the story, I felt it dragged on too long. Silence was my least favorite of the series so far. Nora's going to have to unravel her past to solve the ever growing mysteries of the present and hopefully save her from an unwanted future. Weird, since she hasn't been gone that long. Unfortunately Grey has been missing for most of the summer and can't remember the past five months prior to her reappearance. The latest installment in the Hush Hush series catches up with Nora at the beginning of fall term. Becca Fitzpatrick returns with her third composition Silence, which was more an absence of content than sound. ![]() ![]() ![]() This is one off my favorite trilogy's and I was so sad when it ended especially because I felt like it wasn't complete.

Now, trapped in the palace, as a reluctant bride and unhappy princess, Eve's entire life is a lie. When Eve lost her soul mate, Caleb, she felt like her world ended.

"We pray that viewers are moved by the lyrics of 'It Is Well With My Soul' and reflect on the importance of trusting God in all circumstances." "We are honored to support the film 'Sabina' and believe the message of forgiveness is important for all to hear," said Keith and Kristyn Getty, known for their championing of hymns over the past twenty years. Scenes from "Sabina" representing the love and forgiveness Sabina Wurmbrand showed and illustrating the Wurmbrands' lives are intertwined throughout the video.
