SECRET LANGUAGE by Monica Wood is a moving and compelling tale of two sisters as they reconnect, not to be missed by readers of Anne Tyler, Joanna Cannon and Sue Monk Kidd.

''Fiercely lyrical... [Wood] writes with sensitivity and intuitive insight about relationships coming apart and the walls people erect to keep others out'' Publishers Weekly

As children, dragged around the country by semi-famous actor parents who could barely take care of themselves, sisters Faith and Constance had to rely on one another.

As adults, though, they have drifted apart: Faith has children and a grounded domestic life - but hasn''t necessarily found unconditional love; whereas Constance, a flight attendant, is always searching for her true place in life.

Then Isadora, the half-sister they never knew existed, makes her dramatic entrance into their lives. This crisis forces Faith and Constance into their long-forgotten childhood habits, and they begin to make their way back to one another and find a new way to be a family.

What readers are saying about SECRET LANGUAGE:

''So glad I discovered Monica Wood. Her language is gorgeous, her characters compelling, and she delicately describes the pain and joy of human relationships in a way we can all identify with''

''Extremely well written and thought-provoking with outstanding character development''

''A rare and affecting book that can create such heartfelt turmoil. Highly recommend for readers who love realistic stories about family life''
