Silent Star — Tracie Peterson

People in pain often do not understand the wounds they give others....

SO GO THE WORDS OF ESTELLA, whose years have given her a wisdom she longs to share. But her insights give little reassurance to Andy, whose torment seems to obliterate any chance he has for happiness. With each day that passes, his responsibilities with the telegram office have become a far heavier burden than the mailbag he carries.

But over time this unlikely pair may be able to bring a tender gift to a town lost in its own sorrows.
