“Archer’s Voice” is a powerful, beautiful love story about trust, acceptance, and complex communication. I really liked how Mia Sheridan handled Archer’s ability to communicate without his voice. It struck a very strong note in me, as I work with many nonverbal individuals and know firsthand how much you don’t know until you learn to communicate using their language.
Because communication is not exclusively vocal. We all know body language makes up a good part of it, but words can also be shown in many different ways. Voice isn’t reserved just for sound that comes out of your mouth, that is spoken. Sometimes voice is sign language (featured in this book) or through a communication device or through writing on paper, reading lips, etc. Whichever it may be, that is your voice. And our sweet, incredibly misunderstood Archer’s voice shouldn’t have been so different from everyone in Pelion, Maine. If only they’d taken the time to listen with more than their ears and preconceived prejudices.
Until Bree shows up, and everything changes for Archer. I fell headfirst into Archer and Bree’s tender, tentative love—how much they trusted each other and believed in one another, despite each of their own past trauma and current obstacles. It was first love and it never read so real to me. When love is right, it’s bigger than anything. (Note: LOTS AND LOTS OF SPICE in case you were wondering!)
I already wish I could read this again for the first time. LOVE is, in fact, the reason.

I loved this book and now that I've read it I understand why everyone loves Archer!!
Archer is very innocent, kind, brave and struggling with a childhood trauma. He is judged by everyone in the town, they considers him as a violent person or a bad guy. If you expect that by a miracle he will speak at a given moment in the book, this is not the case. You will find out the reason at some point and I'm sure it will break your heart.
Bree is very understanding, caring and who also suffers. She never judged Archer, on the contrary, she was close to him and tried to show the world through her eyes, and helped him develop his self-confidence.
Archer and Bree make such a beautiful couple who have healed each other from their own traumas.
This story is an emotional one that makes you not let it down. It didn't make me cry, but certain scenes definitely broke a small piece of my heart.
