Brooklyn Author Publishes New Book

"When Silence Speaks," a new book by N.C. Marks, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

Never in her wildest dreams did she imagine the man she loved suddenly dying. As she stumbled through days of darkness following her husband's devastating death, grief was compounded by a toxic mixture of difficulties for her. This book tells of the indomitable spirit of a woman to overcome adversity and walk in the light of a merciful God. Her ability to find faith in the wake of loss, despair, and what many would consider a profound injustice is inspiring. Startling and revealing, the honesty found in this story belies a vulnerability that will humble readers and make them appreciate the loved ones taken for granted every day.

Her nightmare led her to adopt an invincible attitude and a genuine, hope-based faith for the future. Let her compelling words lead you out of your own personal darkness-and into the light of optimism.
