Synopsis
A heartfelt novel of fragile love, loss, and redemption in a small Midwestern town.
In Janice Deal's The Sound of Rabbits, Ruby, a bright but disillusioned woman, returns to her Wisconsin hometown after a life-altering call from her sister, Val. Their mother, Barbara, is battling Parkinson's, and Ruby must confront the harsh truths about her family and herself. Drifting from her music and a failed relationship in Chicago, Ruby seeks meaning in her mother's struggle, facing the past she tried to escape.
As Ruby and Val navigate their strained relationship and Barbara's illness, they grapple with themes of change, death, and acceptance. Through multiple points of view, Deal explores how the past shapes the present and future, asking if true happiness lies in embracing or escaping one's roots. This poignant family drama is perfect for readers seeking stories of:
- Sisters and complicated family dynamics
- Small-town life and its impact on personal identity
- Finding hope and redemption in the face of loss

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. "The Sound of Rabbits is a deeply affecting and powerful novel." --Lynn Sloan, author of Midstream, Principles of Navigation, and This Far Isn't Far EnoughThe Sound of Rabbits tells the story of Ruby, a bright woman with a love of music who thought that leaving the small town where she grew up would ensure her happiness. But her life in Chicago is not going the way she'd planned. At 41, she's drifted away from music, and a long-term relationship with a boyfriend has ended badly. Everything changes with one phone call from her sister, Val, who cares for their mother, Barbara, in the hardscrabble Midwestern town where Ruby grew up. Ruby returns to confront some harsh truths about her family and herself as she tries to find meaning in her mother's battle with Parkinson's disease. Written as an homage to the classic archetype of the Hero's Journey, The Sound of Rabbits relies on different points of view to explore themes of change and death, and considers the role that the past--and acceptance of that past--can play in one's current and future happiness.
