"I loved Echoes of Silence. It was so refreshing to read such a heartwarming and genuine book about love, family, faith, horses, cattle, and ranching. As a fourth-generation rancher and horse breeder, I appreciate that Christy kept the ranching and horsemanship scenes accurate and authentic. As the world becomes more modern, it is important that our legacy is shared and written, so it is not forgotten." -Erica Johnson-Valdez, JO Bar Ranch and Quarter Horses

"Meningitis is a little-known disease that causes two out of a thousand children each year to become deaf or suffer brain damage.

She writes with hope and joy and shows the vital importance of family, nature, and the healing effect of an animal's faithful friendship." -Lynda Dougherty-Kelly, MS-SLP Speech Therapist
