 The Voice He Loved byLaurel Schunk Thomas Nelson Publishers 277 pages, 1995 ISBN 0785280820 Reviewed by Nancy Mehl Read our author interview Paige Brookings left a career as a model in New York for a job as an advertising executive in her hometown of Wichita, Kansas. But there are ghosts in Wichita. Ghosts from her past that seem to follow her no matter where she goes. She has been having a recurring dream, about a man with red hair on his hands, a man she kills in her nightmare. But the nightmare isn’t confined to the darkness – it’s alive even in the light. There are clues in her own mind, mixed and jumbled thoughts and fears that she doesn’t understand. And living ghosts that walk in the guise of her childhood friends, injured and broken, shadows of what they were as children. Even her brother Carter seems to be damaged by things that have never been confronted or named. And then there are the phone calls, whispered threats that strike terror in her heart. Paige is determined to meet her demons head on after one of her old friends and his young daughter are brutally murdered. But who is behind the killings and what do they have to do with Paige? Why is she unable to reach out for love – even from the one man who has never stopped loving her? Her journey into the past takes her through a maze of abuse, murder and self-discovery that will ultimately end in either freedom or death. In The Voice He Loved, Laurel Schunk weaves a masterful tale that reaches into the inner workings of a bruised and battered psyche, while keeping the plot moving at a breathless pace. This novel intertwines the faith of the main characters in a way that adds to the reader’s understanding of their thoughts and feelings, yet never takes us away from this exciting and intriguing plot. Ms. Schunk is a masterful storyteller with a talent for touching our hearts and for making us face our own fears. A wonderful page-turner. |
