You knew where things were going, but it was done well, so it made for a pleasant read. Family dynamics, domestic abuse, second chances, and moving on after loss all set in the low country of South Carolina.

THE SOUND OF GLASS is a beautiful book. The descriptions of the scenes, and the emotions of the characters are very real. A multilayered mystery, secrets of a damaged family, and the courage to heal keeps you engrossed throughout the book. This book will linger in the readers heart long after the last page is turned.

THE SOUND OF GLASS is a heartbreaking but relevant tale of multiple generations of damaged men in the Heyward family. The poignant story is told from three alternating women‘s perspectives. https://lharvey250.tumblr.com/post/166253879709/the-sound-of-glass-karen-white-m...

This book perfectly describes the lusciousness of the Lowcountry. It wasn't the most moving thing I've ever read, but was entertaining. It is a perfect beach read!! #beachread #summerreading#karenwhite #lowcountry

Family bonds forged from unfailing kindness and from the strength found in suffering. Set in South Carolina, this was tough to stomach and endearing at the same time. Lovable and quirky characters and a mystery thrown in to boot.
