The Language of Kin

Thank you Getredprbooks and Amphorae Publishing for this gifted copy.

Time for me to break out the tissues and get ready for an utterly moving and powerful story about trust and communication.

𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗼𝗽𝘀𝗶𝘀: From the award-winning author of A Matter of Mercy and The Testament of Harold’s Wife, comes a beautifully written exploration of how the language of healing can transcend seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Eve, a chimpanzee orphaned by poachers and used for experiments in a medical lab, can finally lead a new life. When she arrives at the Dayton Zoo, Kate and Marc must overcome professional differences to build a relationship with her. Forced to work together, Kate and Marc find common ground when they discover they both are the sole caregivers for their mothers, one who has been deaf her entire life and the other who recently lost her ability to process words. After a life-threatening crisis occurs, can they find the courage—and the shared language—to reach across these silent divides to heal the ones they love?

AOTD: Web has his Regional American Legion tournament starting today, so we are up and out early with a 10am first game start time! It’s also 43° out so I’m breaking out my winter coat and blanket for the game.
