Suicidal thoughts had comforted Rhoda since she was a child. She never actually wanted to die. But that changed on a cool autumn day in 1969 when the lifeless body of her infant daughter was pulled from the banks of Clinch River. Distraught, Rhoda set out on a journey to get as far away from War Gap as she could. With bus tickets and the use of her exhausted legs, she made it all the way to Grand Saline, Texas. She fell on the ground in the middle of nowhere and placed a gun to her head. Only, it wasn’t the middle of nowhere. It was one of the few farms owned by a Black family in all of Van Zandt county. It was also the location of a recent murder fueled by racism. Rhoda was in the wrong place at the wrong time, or was she?

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Fast Paced look at mental illness and racism in the not-too-distant past By J. Burnett 3 for 3. Love Towe's books, and this one is no exception.Set a few decades ago, the story touches on issues of violence, mental health, racism and suicide. Now, that being said, it's not all dark and sad. It's got a fast pace, and despite being so short, some very well developed characters. Your protagonist is pitiable at times, and at others, you want to stand up and cheer for her. The supporting characters are few (other than in mentions by the 2 main characters), and flesh out the story well.I'm terrible at writing book reviews, because I am worried about spoiling a book for someone by mentioning too much. So, forgive the vagueness.Rhoda is our main character, and she's suicidal. I mean, very seriously, going to do it, suicidal. But, Ben interrupts her. Not in a kindly way, but in an angry way. He has enough issues without her baggage adding to it. He's just lost a wife. Violently. And, being a black man in a backwoods, racist area (Hello, KKK), he doesn't have even a hope for justice. In the short time span of this story, Rhoda finds a bit of a reason to keep going, and things turn out far different than I had anticipated.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Gripping read By Cat From the first scene of the novel I felt as if I were down in the dirt with Rhoda with my fist clutching a gun to my head in an attempt to end the pain. The author did a great job of evoking the senses throughout the book. Silencer deals with issues of loss, suicide, rascism and determination, not easy topics to write or read about but was it was a compelling read and steam-rolled on towards an equally as intense closing.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Silencer By renee nadabomb cherry Mental illness is a tough topic to cover. The author helps bring some understanding through this story. Mental abuse was generational in the family. Grandma Vickers was verbally abusive to her daughter, Sarah. In turn, Sarah was verbally/physically abusive to her child, Rhoda.When Rhoda meets Ben, a farmer and landowner, baby Nashe and Paumina, she encounters a more sinister form of abuse from the town folks of Grand Saline, TX during the 1960's. It's an eye opener page after page!I plan to read more works by Julie Roberts Towe and rate this novella at 3.8 stars.
