Mary Calhoun Brown
Award-winning Author and Speaker

 "The quarrels of popes and kings, with wars and pestilences in every page; the men all so good for nothing, and hardly any women at all — it is very tiresome."                                                                  - Jane Austen on history

Praise for There Are No Words:

Feathered Quill Book Reviews's review

rating: 5 of 5 stars
http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/83059545

"A dream-like adventure that reads like poetry while challenging stereotypes"



"The most terrifying future is a future you cannot change. "There Are No Words" tells the story of a mute girl who finds herself with a voice, but sent back decades ago. With the knowledge of a train wreck that will kill one of her grandfather's friends, Jaxon MacKenzie finds herself in a time before said accident. But a twelve year old girl can't do much to stop a government train...can she? "There Are No Words" is a charming story of determination and friendship, highly recommended. "

It  is one thing to have empathy and another to be able to put across on  paper the super-sensitivity to sound and touch. Wow.  Your love of the  characters shines through and the use of photos is brilliant.  Boy, I  could sure smell those roses and the leaves on the forest path.  Great 
job!"

                                                                                     - Sara Hunter,

"There Are No Words by Mary Calhoun Brown, is a heartwarming tale of trials and triumph, judgment and acceptance; one that challenged my beliefs and brightened my day. It's short, it's sweet, and it's worth far more recognition that it will probably get."

"Jaxon's world is engaging from page one, the author's simple quiet style lending itself well to such a gentle, thoughtful read."

"...Lines feel like an interpretation of love my a misunderstood twelve-year-old, and a frankly more honest one that you can find in most fiction."

"...Love and tolerance are certainly abundant, but unlike most teen books in this niche, it is balanced with sorrow, anger and prejudice in real-life doses, which rescues it from sentimentality and gives it a whole new dimension of excellence."
