Book Description:

The coming-of-age story follows Gwyn Madison, the summer after her high school graduation, as she grapples with her fast-approaching future. She’ll have to face more than she bargained for with her Aunt Delia, the family matriarch, who holds the purse strings and the final word. In the meantime, Gwyn stumbles upon a tightly held family secret. Could a mysterious letter provide Gwyn the leverage she desires? Will it only bring more family division? Or, maybe, the past was never meant to stay buried after all. Whispering Through Water navigates family dynamics, young love, and female autonomy with a little 1990s nostalgia.

Review By LAWonder10:

In the bittersweet, poignant tale of Whispering Through Water, the reader will discover this as unique as its Title. It is a coming-of-age story of a young girl whose dreams are being shattered by her not complying with the precise terms of her Aunt. She and her mother were forced through circumstances to live with her aunt and uncle from Gwen’s early childhood. Now, her mother is silent, when Gwen really needs her to speak up.

Will Gwen have to give up on her dreams or will her aunt have a change of heart? Will relationships be destroyed forever?

The author writes in the first person, reflecting between past and present in a manner that is easily followed. There are so many “twists” that it is not very predictable. I suggest a box of Kleenex be kept close by.

The characters are very endearing and feel real. The background scenes are easily visualized. The Title and cover are cleverly fitting. There are a few sketched illustrations by Terri Moore which are very well done.

*Reader Beware There are a few profane words in this book.

I offer a Five Stars rating for this book.

This book was gifted me with no pressure to post a positive review. This is my honest review.

Meet the Author:

Rebecca Wenrich Wheeler was raised in West Point, a small town in the Tidewater region of Virginia. From the moment she submitted her first short story to a young author’s contest in second grade, Rebecca knew she wanted to be a writer. Her love of writing led her to earn a BA in English and an MEd in English education. She spent several years as a high school teacher, during which she also developed a passion for mental health advocacy. Rebecca completed an MA in professional counseling and now works in the school-based mental health field and as a college adjunct psychology instructor. Rebecca also teaches yoga for the young and the young at heart, and she likes to infuse yoga and breathwork in her counseling practice wherever she can.

She believes the most valuable use of her time is teaching youth how to love and care for each other and the world around them. Her stories share her focus on positive relationships and a love of nature. Rebecca now lives in Durham, North Carolina, with her husband, two children, and two spoiled Siamese cats.
