(Paperback)
When Rea Traylor flees with her children to see her estranged parents in 1980's Oklahoma, surprises follow. It is up to Rea's young daughter, Sapphie, to solve the mystery of her mother's secret life.
Lip Reader features a colorful cast of characters-an unkempt uncle living in a school bus; a grandfather who preaches in a rundown church; a grandmother born deaf; an aunt fluent in sign language but lacking in social graces; and Sapphie, who finds courage and hope despite mother Rea's unthinkable act of betrayal.

September 24, 2009: Lip Reader has a great story line and gives a descriptive degrees of hearing loss to readers. This author, Shanna Groves, leaves you wanting more by the end of this book, so we're ready for the sequel!! Also this is a book that can be donated to your local hospital for a tax write-off after buying and reading it for yourself! I give Lip Reader 5 stars and highly recommend this book.
