BLOG TOUR, GIVEAWAY AND REVIEW OF MY SISTER'S VOICE BY MARY CARTER

What would you do if you found out you had a twin? In the book My Sister's Voiceby Mary Carter, one woman found that out. Meet Lacey, an artist, who has been deaf almost all of her life. She finds an anonymous letter in her mailbox that says You have a twin. At first she is shocked than she goes through denial. The letter tells her to where to see her long lost twin. She goes to a bookstore and sees the poster in the window and sees herself. At first she thinks it is an imposter but as the story progresses she learns more about her sister, Monica, who is supposed to do a book signing that day. The store owner thinks that Lacey is Monica and that is when the fun begins. I do not want to spoil if for you so I will not tell you anymore.

Monica has problems of her own and she is possibly living a lie. When they finally meet, the women's pasts are unfolded and the adventure just begins. Monica can hear and is introduced to the deaf community. She begins to learn American Sign Language (ALS). There are numerous characters in the book that play a crucial role in the story. Does Lacey and Monica stay together or are they drawn apart? That question and many more are answered in the book.

My Thoughts-


I can relate to the book. I am a twin and we are very close. When we are apart for a long time we feel sad and sometimes we know what the other is thinking with out saying a word. We have a bond that will never be separated. The book was excellent and the way the deaf community was included in the story was great. I am presently taking American Sign Language (ASL) in high school and I love the language. I tried to get my mother to let me drop Spanish but she said "No". I guess she is right and it will be useful in the future. I plan to go to college for ASL and become certified. So when I got the opportunity to read this beautifully written book, I could not wait to get it in the mail. I was not disappointed. The book included passion, deceit, struggles and a bond between two people that cannot be broken. I recommend this book to everyone. Even if you do not have a twin, or a deaf friend, you can learn a lot from this book. I did. Bravo Ms. Carter, you did a great job and I cannot wait to read your other books.
