Sweet, Silent, and Deadly

Cindy Eaton is pulled back from the countryside by her stepmother, who has a plan for her: she is to take the place of her half-sister at a marriage arranged with a sickly man. Cindy must step into a household where her family has already decided her future without asking her. The arrangement sets her against the people who sent for her, and she begins to see how little her stepmother intends to leave her. The story follows her as she learns to protect herself in a home that has never treated her as family.
