Note: This book was previously sold under the title: Thin Blood.'This thought-provoking story of a woman reviewing her life as she faces her last days is a riveting page-turner that never fails to surprise. Quiet Sins will make you laugh, cry and empathize with one of the most unusual heroines to come along in years.'  - Elaine Partnow, actress and author.Olivia is dying. Nothing can be done but to slow it down and make her comfortable - so says her oncologist son. He points out, ever so helpfully, that the dying body loses each of its senses one at a time. Taste, smell, touch, sight and hearing are all lost until there is nothing left but raw consciousness. Despite this grim outlook, Olivia displays both wit and insight as she comes to understand that there may be things even more difficult than confronting one’s own mortality. She takes this time to reflect on her life through the prism of her senses, each one bringing back a collection of memories. Some are painful, others lighthearted and amusing; some lead to acceptance and ultimately, redemption. This time of contemplation culminates in a shocking revelation, one that begs the ultimate question of whether true forgiveness is really possible.
