It’s not often I experience that lovely, heady, emotionally draining experience known as a book hangover. But I’ve got a mother of one right now. Archer’s Voice is a book I’d heard great things about. It also sounded like one of those books that required me to be in just the right mood to read since it might make me get squirmy and uncomfortable with too many feels. Well, Archer did that and more. Quite a few times, when I couldn’t bear the emotions it was dragging out of me, I had to put it down for a minute or two. I was a mess of anticipation! And I LOVED every minute of it.Archer Hale and Bree Prescott are two scarred and damaged people who, in what is surely an act of kismet, are thrown into each other’s paths. Wracked with guilt and alone in their sadness and grief, Archer and Bree begin an unlikely relationship. The events surrounding their heart-wrenching circumstances are vastly different yet the results are similar. Due to the heartlessness of others, their lives were forever changed. As a young boy, Archer paid the price for the lies and betrayals of the adults in his life. Left without a voice, physically as well as emotionally, he has hidden himself away for years. In many respects, he is still that small frightened boy, even at the age of 23. The residents of the small lakeside town of Pelion still speculate as to what exactly happened to the Hale family all those years ago. But, like most people afraid to step in and get involved, instead of reaching out to Archer they have left him on his own.
Bree’s tragic circumstances occurred a mere six months ago. She hopes her temporary escape to the small town in Maine will ease her nightmares and let her get on with life.Archer’s Voice is one of the most creative, poignant and beautifully written stories I’ve read in a long time. The skill with which Ms. Sheridan reveals layer after layer of this story had me absolutely mesmerized. Archer is a gorgeously complex character who I fell deeper and deeper in love with over the course of the novel. Bree is his completion, as he is hers. This is a delicious love story, but be prepared. Your emotions will be in one big messy heap as they journey forward, together as well as separately, and away from the beliefs and fears that have paralyzed them.
Mia Sheridan has woven imaginative and delicate details into a gorgeous, sensuous story that will stay with you for a long time.
