{"product_id":"9781477181003","title":"Silence Has a Voice","description":"Marvis’s first poetry book, “When You Close Your Eyes: A Journey into the Celebration of Life,” met with great success and was published by Xlibris Corporation in 2008.  Her latest book, “Silence Has a Voice,’’ is a compilation of poems infused with passions, hopes, dreams and life experiences and expresses a wide range of emotions from setbacks to victories. “If you listen carefully, she invites, there is a voice in silence: it offers respect; it offers hope; it offers clarity. Many of the poems selected were to honor lost loved ones. Often, during such difficult times, silence is a welcoming presence.” Dr. Rachel Naomi Remen states it best: “Perhaps the most important thing we bring to another person is the silence in us; not the sort of silence that is filled with unspoken criticism or hard withdrawal; the sort of silence that is a place of refuge, of rest, of acceptance of someone as they are; we are all hungry for this other silence; it is hard to find. In its presence we can remember something beyond the moment, a strength on which to build a life. Silence is a place of great power and healing.”","brand":"Xlibris US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47107557818608,"sku":"9781477181003","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781477181003_p0.jpg?v=1763612645","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781477181003","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
