Locked deep within Jamie’s heart were emptiness and confusion beyond the comprehension of a five-year-old boy. Refusing to let words describe his hurt, Jamie withdrew into his own little world. Would Chloe leave him the way his mommy and baby sister had?

Silence of My Love, book two of the Chloe Mae Chronicles, by Kay D. Rizzo, finds Chloe struggling to be a surrogate mother to orphaned Jamie in the harsh flatlands of Kansas.

Chloe’s dreams of reaching China stall as adversity and a little boy’s silence lead her down a path of experience she never bargained for: How could anyone find love and happiness in this desolate, unforgiving land?
