By all appearances, she's the kind of educator who changes lives for the better. But Charlotte carries a secret she's never shared-a childhood shattered by abuse, betrayal, and a justice system that looked the other way.She's spent years building a quiet, careful life in the same small Texas town that once ignored her cries for help. By day, she teaches multiplication tables and spelling lists. By night, she becomes something else entirely-a silent executioner, stalking the predators who slip through the cracks of the law.When Jamie, a withdrawn ten-year-old girl, transfers into her class, Charlotte instantly recognizes the signs: bruises hidden beneath long sleeves, eyes that never meet her own, a voice too quiet to hear. It's like looking into a mirror of her younger self. But when Charlotte tries to sound the alarm, she's met with the same pattern she remembers too well-denial, excuses, and a system designed to protect the wrong people.Charlotte makes a vow: Jamie will not become another forgotten child. She will save her, whatever it takes. But protecting Jamie means breaking every rule Charlotte has lived by-and walking deeper into the shadows she's fought to control.As her double life threatens to unravel, Charlotte must face her most dangerous lesson yet: saving Jamie may require destroying herself. And in the end, she must decide if she can still tell the difference between a hero and a monster.Lessons in Silence is a chilling and emotionally charged psychological thriller about the lengths we'll go to protect the innocent, the scars that never fade, and the cost of carrying justice in your own hands. Perfect for fans of The Silent Patient, Pretty Girls, and Sharp Objects, it will keep you questioning until the final page-and haunt you long after.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers1.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/834/953/9798349537776_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "15.99", "online_price" : "15.99", "our_price" : "15.99", "club_price" : "15.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
