by Janice Deal (Author)
A heartfelt novel of fragile love, loss, and redemption in a small Midwestern town.
In Janice Deal's The Sound of Rabbits, Ruby, a bright but disillusioned woman, returns to her Wisconsin hometown after a life-altering call from her sister, Val. Their mother, Barbara, is battling Parkinson's, and Ruby must confront the harsh truths about her family and herself. Drifting from her music and a failed relationship in Chicago, Ruby seeks meaning in her mother's struggle, facing the past she tried to escape.
As Ruby and Val navigate their strained relationship and Barbara's illness, they grapple with themes of change, death, and acceptance. Through multiple points of view, Deal explores how the past shapes the present and future, asking if true happiness lies in embracing or escaping one's roots. This poignant family drama is perfect for readers seeking stories of:
- Sisters and complicated family dynamics
- Small-town life and its impact on personal identity
- Finding hope and redemption in the face of loss
