Silent Song (The Silent Duo Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Jaci Wheeler (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 415 ratings
When Silence and Sound Collide, Senses Explode

Barrett
I'm deaf. What most people view as a disadvantage, I see as an advantage. I feel my way through life in my 1969 Ford Fairlane. The vibrations and speed sustain me, the race track is where I dominate. I thought racing was all I needed to survive, but I was wrong.

Presley
Music is my life. I inhale the melody and breathe in the lyrics. That was until I met someone that opened my eyes to a new culture. Who knew silence was all it would take for me to really experience music?

    4.0 out of 5 stars Not a bad book just not great
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 May 2020
    Not much off a storyline to be honest it was mostly about finding a place between a hearing and deaf person in each others worlds. It was a good read but not quite hitting the great read for me, romance felt a bit flat even though all the words seemed right. It didn't help when Barrett describes Presley as not beautiful but with a loving soul (which she had in abundance). Ending was a bit rushed and felt incomplete, not a bad book just not great.

    4.0 out of 5 stars I loved the storyline and it was well written
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 January 2018
    What a cute book! I loved the storyline and it was well written. I am a sucker for music stories, so I knew when I read the blurb that it was a read for me. There were so many feels in this book; tears of sadness, heartbreak and laughter. Barrett and Presley were the perfect match for each other. I always love a good story that is about true love and opposites attract.

    There is Barrett that has dealt with so much in life that would make anyone’s heartbreak. Reading a book about being deaf, from the viewpoint of a deaf person really put things in perspective about how they live their lives. Presley was a sweet person that wanted to make things better for everyone else even though she was dealing with her own problems.

    They should make this book into a Lifetime or Hallmark movie! This is my first book by Jaci Wheeler and I am looking forward to reading more by her.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 March 2018
    This is the first time I have read any of this authors’ work, and goodness, I will certainly be 1-clicking more. I am in awe of this author’s attention to detail with the story about a relationship between a deaf and hearing person, and what lengths they will overcome in order to be together. This is an emotional and well written story which this author has given her heart and soul to, and which had me hooked and enthralled throughout. I will certainly be adding this author to my favourites list, and I look forward to reading more of her work.

    Would I recommend this book?

    Yes, absolutely because it was really a wonderful story. I learned so much about how deaf people experience the world, their fierce pride in their deafness, and of course, some of the challenges that can come their way as they interact with the more dominant hearing community through this fictional story. And now I hope I remember to not say or ask offensive questions that I would’ve otherwise.

    I did a lot of highlighting, commenting on GoodReads with my status updates and bookmarking because this novel was full of meaningful moments. I also really enjoyed the additional posts the author shared on deaf culture and what inspired her in the read-along group she had July 8 - 15, 2018. There is something very special to me about interacting with other readers who are reading the same novel as you around the same time. And I admired the courage it took the author who is also deaf to write this novel and share very personal information about real events that inspired scenes in Silent Song.

    One of my favorite scenes was in Presley’s point of view during a conversation she had with her college roommate / bestie Jodi:

    “We have this connection that transcends words or communication at all. We can be completely silent, yet say so much, if that makes sense at all.”

    “Wow. I didn’t realize it was that deep.”

    “I don’t think he does either, which is the problem.”

    What did I enjoy most about this story?
    Original / Page-turner / Diverse characters / Deaf community friendly / Romantic / Realistic / Funny / HEA

    I loved that Barrett and Presley got to know each other over an expanded amount of time. There was also plenty of levity to balance out some of the heavier beats. And the titular song scene was amazing. I hope the author considers writing more stories featuring a deaf hero and/or heroine because their fictional voices needs to be heard more often.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Silent Song.....There is Always A Way......

    I just finished reading this book and my first thought is that my life is richer for reading it. I have only really read a few other books like this from other authors that gave me this thought; and that is how rare it is to find a book like this. I just wanted to mention a few things in this review to let the author know how much I appreciate someone who writes like this-from their heart and soul and personal experience- which makes this book a gift to me and to anyone else who reads it.

    I am 66 years old and my eyes have been opened to other things lately in my book travels, and I have learned a lot! For instance I did not really know about American Sign Language, I know people can sign but not what it entailed, different things, just like speaking and seeing are. I am at the point in my life where I have cataracts in both my eyes, and I am scared to death. However reading this book gave me an appreciation that there is always a way "no matter what". In my case, if I go blind there are audio books and learning Braille and having someone read to me. Plus I have all my other capabilities to keep me going. All is not lost!

    The two characters in this book are as different as night and day, but yet they are perfect for each other. The reason is that one found a way to communicate with the other. She also came up with a way to SHOW him! Imagine all the people alone in the world because of their disabilities. Imagine all the misunderstanding and feelings they have that maybe they don't fit, like a poor person learning to live in a world with people who are rich, while they have nothing to their name. Like our society -rich, middle class, and poor, why is it this way? We are all human, yet there are so many barriers between us.

    Most of all the story shows that if you want something bad enough, you will ultimately learn how to get it-with blood, sweat, and tears and a song in your head and love in your heart. These characters finally were able to climb over the barriers that were keeping them from being together.

    I feel so lucky my friend asked me to buddy read this with her, otherwise I would have missed out on a book that I think most people should read. I gave this book 5***** stars and will be looking for more books by Jaci Wheeler.

    This story was so incredibly awesome. Was inspiring and riveting. The project that Presley designed for the deaf, specifically B. was spectacular. I would love to experience such a thrilling event. I felt great sorrow for B as he endured the loss of his loved ones. I know it was a story but it made me cry to consider how a deaf person might feel having to deal with such great losses. I lost my whole childhood family- my parents and 3 siblings plus an infant great nephew then to make it worse my husband and my oldest son all in a period of 10 years from illnesses. My husband's was a tragic accident. These happened to me as a sighted and hearing person. This book made me aware of the added complications that would /could occur with the challenge of differences. I hope someone is always there to be a support for those with challenging circumstances. Excellent author abilities to open people's "eyes"/ awareness.

    I was not prepared for the depth of emotion in this book, and even though I devoured it in under 24 hours (so good!), I still feel like the author developed these characters thoroughly. But the most amazing and stand-out aspect for me was the author’s treatment of ASL. Normally, I have the stance that ASL is its own language and should be fully translated and italicized just like I would do when inserting French or German or whatever other spoken language into and English-written novel. But in this case, the author chose to transliterate in the grammatical format of ASL, and it was SO immersive. There are so many poignant descriptions of Deaf culture—the beauty and the hardships and the community. I’ve read several books before with ASL fluent main characters, but this was truly an experience. Cannot recommend enough!
