How do you face the future if you don’t know your own past?

When an unexpected pregnancy changes her dreams, seventeen-year-old Annie tries to keep it from her mother and her grandmother. But secrets have a way of coming out. In a household of strong women, the arrival of a new life sets off a spiral of truth that reveals a past full of whispers and lies—a past that existed in another world under the heavy hand of Soviet oppression. This history has dictated the circumstances of the present, but hope, redemption, and forgiveness will grow in the rocky places of these generational differences.

A Silver Willow by the Shore is the story of the unshakeable love between mothers and daughters and of the impact that past decisions can have on present-day circumstances. This novel weaves together the stories of generations of women, from the gulags of 1930’s Siberia to the quiet oppression of 1980’s Soviet Moscow to present-day Tennessee. It is an unforgettable narrative of the treachery of secrets, and of the light that unites the heart of a family.

My Thoughts on A Silver Willow by the Shore

 Who doesn’t love a good book that includes history?  I love learning history whether it is the history of a family or the history of our country.  History in all forms is fascinating to me!  I loved learning the history surrounding the family within A Silver Willow By the Shore.

If you like a good historical fiction type read then this is the book for you!

This is more than just learning about your history as a family, this is revealing long-held secrets and finding healing.  A great read that I highly recommend.

I love the names and references to cultures and what used to be.  Again, this is a great book!  

Appropriate for teens?  You may know I like to do disclaimers if a book is appropriate for your teen girls to read as my teen girls devour anything I give them.  For this book, I would say yes teen girls can read it but I personally would wait until upper teens and make sure you keep communication lines open while reading.  But as always you know your child best!

I have voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from Prism Book Tours. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.  I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way.  All opinions expressed are my own.  I am disclosing this in accordance with the FTC regulations.
