Song of Silence by Cynthia Ruchti Review


I love Cynthia Ruchti books because they are real life. The characters face situations we all face. Song of Silence is no exception. The story looks at early retirement for one spouse and a forced retirement for the other one. Life isn’t turning out like they planned. Relationships with their older children add more unforeseen complications. The story brings in a deaf mother and a child with Asperger’s. Then an accident changes everything. The story has so much depth and the characters strike a chord as they struggle and then grow through their trials.

Through the story, you will find hope and the belief that even if life isn’t what you thought it would be, it can still be good. This book came to me at a time when I needed that hope and I needed the wisdom it offered. My copy is underlined in several places. I found that, “In the silence, a song is brewing.” Song of Silence showed me when we wait on God, when we trust Him in the silence, even then the song of our life is still being composed.

Music teachers will enjoy this book, but so will anyone who needs to see music in their lives. Read it if you have had too much change in your lives, if unexpected circumstances have come your way. If you enjoy a good story infused with hope, you will like it.

I highly recommend Song of Silence. It will encourage, inspire, and entertain you. Don’t miss out on this one!
