Hello Therians!!
Welcome to my third and final stop on the William
Sibley's Sighs Too Deep For Words Blog Tour hosted by JKS Communications.
SYNOPSIS
SIGHS TOO DEEP FOR WORDS is the story of a man
in prison who falls in love, through lengthy correspondence, with a woman he’s
never met. Getting out, he goes to find her and discovers that the love letters
he’s received were written not by a woman but by a closeted gay man — a small
town minister. Not only did the minister deceive the prisoner, but he sent a
photograph of his sister (who lives with him) as a picture representing himself.
And not only is the sister unaware of the ruse, but she herself happens to be a
lesbian. The ex-prisoner has fallen in love physically with a woman who doesn’t
know he exists, and mentally with a man he doesn’t know how to love. Set in the
scenic Texas Gulf Coast fishing village of Rockport, SIGHS TOO DEEP FOR WORDS is
a darkly humorous and contemplative examination of the parameters of love, sex,
sexuality and cultural perspective.

REVIEW
Sighs Too Deep For Words is a wonderful story of
love, friendship, inspiration and self-discovery.
Lester Briggs, although a little intimidating, is a compassionate,
warm-hearted man whose only goal after being released from prison, is to find
the one person who reached out to him while he was incarcerated. Laurel
Jeanette gave him hope that love and life exists outside of Diboll. But Lester
soon discovers that not all is as it seems, and his life weaves a different
path bringing him unexpected friendship and the emotional realization of the
love he so desperately seeks, in the form of someone he already shares a deep connection
with.
There are many quirky characters throughout this
story and it was interesting to see how each relationship panned out. I
particularly enjoyed Melanie and Daniel. Although I would have run a mile the
minute I met them (because they are both crazy), they brought a certain fun and
light element to a story that contained some serious subject matter.
Family secrets, mixed signals and Lester’s hunt for
love made for an exciting read. It was emotionally charged and pulled at my
heart strings as I walked the journey with Lester, hoping against hope that he’d
find happiness. The ending was a pleasant surprise and I was satisfied with
turning the last page knowing that all would be right in Lester’s world.
Because sometimes it takes your world falling to pieces to truly find what you are looking for.
