Una novela desgarradora sobre una familia separada por el Muro de Berlín. Imagínate despertar y encontrarte con un muro que ha dividido tu ciudad en dos.

Elly, la hija adolescente de Lisette, siempre ha luchado por comprender la distancia entre ella y su madre. La joven es capaz de percibir la melodía que desprenden las personas, mientras que para Lisette la música se ha convertido en silencio.

_____ Lisette is in hospital with her baby boy. The doctors tell her to go home and get some rest, that he'll be fine. When she awakes, everything has changed. Because overnight, on 13 August 1961, the border between East and West Berlin has closed, slicing the city - and the world - in two. Lisette is trapped in the east, while her baby is unreachable in the west. But this is not the first time she has lived in a divided city.
.
Lisette''s teenage daughter, Elly, has always struggled to understand the distance between herself and her mother. Both have lived for music, but while Elly hears notes surrounding every person she meets, for her mother the music has disappeared. Can Elly now find a way to bridge the silence? Set across two timelines - the Second World War and the tumultuous events of 1961 - The Silence in Between explores the unbreakable bonds of family, the resilience of women, and the lengths they will go to protect the ones they love. Based on true stories, The Silence in Between is a page-turning, emotional epic that will stay with you long after you finish reading. ''A tautly plotted, deeply involving novel that packs a real emotional punch ... I can''t recommend this novel highly enough'' Laura Barnett, author of The Versions of Us

A Must Read!
Format: Hardcover
Highly recommend Any Day Emotions! Debra Fileta uses creative similes to explain our emotions to the littles. She goes beyond just the basic happy and sad emotions you typically hear about in children’s books to the less talked about emotions such as jealousy and guilt. With each emotion she gives a practical, kid friendly step to live an emotionally healthy life. Any Day Emotions is a fun book to teach your littles about emotions in a way that points them back to their Creator. The beautiful illustrations are the perfect touch to tie it all together!

A good and easy “self-help” book for parents to “help” their child with their emotions! LOVE IT!
Format: Hardcover
Wow! I love that this book was written by a licensed professional counselor! I love that I’m familiar with this author’s other books which I own and have read. I love that this book addresses so many emotions a child will have! My favorite is “Jealous” because she perfectly depicts a birthday party and we all know that siblings can easily become jealous over all the attention, the gifts, the cake…
The pictures pair beautifully with the words/emotions. I love this illustrator, she is amazing and gifted! You are easily drawn in by the details and colors in each picture! It really gives my child lots of images and things to look at and relate to as you read to them.
I also love the emotion “Peaceful” because when you look at the illustrations of the water and floating on a tube while your hand is resting in the water and you are gently kicking your feet, that looks and feels peaceful and I know my child can relate to that.
This is a very easy to understand book. I loved that each emotion was on two pages and you didn’t need to turn the page, it was all there for you to process and read. The entire explanation of the emotion was a simple way for my child to grasp the concept and give simple choices on how to deal with the emotion. For me including God in the equation was awesome and important and that was also simple and easy to understand.

A beautiful and meaningful book!
Format: Hardcover
I absolutely love this book! The illustrations are gorgeous, and the book does such a great job helping kids understand their feelings and how to handle them. It’s been so helpful for talking with my kids about their emotions in a simple, meaningful way. I also love how the author brings God into it—it’s such a sweet reminder that He cares about every feeling we have. Highly recommend for any parent!

I love this book!
Format: Hardcover
I really love this book and the beautiful whimsical illustrations. I love the way it identifies and affirms each emotion we/our children/grandchildren have - all the while turning us (and them) to faith in Jesus and God's constant loving care. I have bought it for my grandkids and am so glad to give this to them as a tool to help them understand things they are feeling and be able to express those feelings appropriately and know they are never alone!

LOVE it!
Format: Hardcover
This is a Wonderful Book! I bought this book for our 4 grandkids, and when I gave it to my daughter in law she said the timing was perfect!!! It's full of beautiful pictures and every page rhymes to engage with your children. I highly recommend this book for Christmas, or a gift for any occasion. I've told many moms of young children to get this book. Thank you Debra for thinking of our children's needs too! (grandkids ages 8, 6, 5 and newborn)
