A Sacred Silence
What price will Eliza be willing to pay for love, when love seems to only bring grief? Just when the twenty-four-year-old finally feels ready to move beyond the pain of losing her mother, Eliza receives an odd phone call from the attorney of her deceased grandmother, propelling her into a deeper exploration of grief and love.
As long-hidden secrets resurface, the legacy of her family could be at stake. Flung back into her grandmother’s mysterious past at the time of the Mexican Revolution, Eliza must face the truth her beloved grandmother chose decades of silence to protect―until now. When past and present collide, can Eliza somehow come to terms with the intermingling of love and grief, for the sake of her family’s legacy . . . and for the sake of her own heart?

This was a very good book about Faith and family. I love historical novels, so the fact that it was set in Mexico during the time of the grand ranches and the genteel aristocracy was very interesting to me. Ashlee ties present day family occurrences to events from the past, and makes it all come together in ways the reader might never suspect. More...

When the young heroine, Eliza, began reading her grandmother's journals describing her life in Northern Mexico during the period before the Revolution, I was mesmerized. More...

Ashlee currently lives in San Antonio, Texas with her husband, their three children and their menagerie of pets.
