Veil of Silence

By: K'Anne Meinel

Narrated by: Lois Ridge

Five years ago, Lieutenant Marsha Gagliano disappeared when her helicopter crashed in Afghanistan. Her wife held out hope for her return, but with no word from the army after all that time, she begins to realize she may have to move on without her.

At the embassy in Kabul, a burqa-clad woman arrives at the gate with two young children in tow. The black-haired, brown-eyed woman looks like an Afghan native, but her American accent belies this. She identifies herself as Lieutenant Marsha Gagliano, all the while keeping a close eye out behind her as though at any moment, someone might jump out and snatch her back.

Questions arise regarding her disappearance and reappearance and the army is suspicious. The children are obviously hers. Has she consorted with the enemy? How will her wife react to these children? Will she be able to accept children she had no part in conceiving?

What is this woman hiding beneath her chador? What secrets lie behind her veil of silence?

wow just wow

this one that will suck you and leave you wanting more. A very intriguing read or listen. Bloody brilliant

Coming home has its challenges

Personally I loved this book. The way the characters interacted thru a seriously rough time yet pulled it thru was amazing. Kind of wishing there was a next chapter to their story....

A Mother's Strength

Very enjoyable story with exciting plot twists & turns. Issues with military protocol. Great narrator!

Definitely a good one

I enjoyed the story and really do hope for more of it or some additions to this story. I hope the author continues audiobooks with this narrator and I have listened to a few of the others and the narrator just wasn't great. Worth a credit for this book. clearly the author researched military protocol as even parts of the UCMJ are spoken about. Prior military myself I was shocked. But the story was sad, happy, exciting and crazy all in one. Very enjoyable please write more with this couple. I want to know if they decide to have more kids on the wife's side, I want to know if the rest of the Arabic tribe come after them or leave them alone. So much I feel another book could be made.

not accurate but very enjoyable

the story had several inaccuracies but it was very enjoyable. I would like to read similar stories.
