The Death of Primrose Whittaker

By: Kerry Chaput

Narrated by: Liz Leafloor

1924, Oregon: Put to work as a fortune teller by her cruel mother, reluctant psychic Primrose communes with the souls of the lost and lonely. She believes she's destined to die on the eve of her twenty-second birthday, but that evening passes, and she finds herself alive but unable to tolerate one more day of the fortune teller life.

Desperate to do good with her painful visions, she discovers a sanitorium where psychics gather, and she journeys across Oregon to find more of her kind. She meets a host of new friends who teach her to accept her gifts. However, Primrose quickly learns the hospital and its heralded doctor aren't what they seem. He treats residents with a special opium that eradicates their psychic visions—with disastrous side effects. It becomes a race against the clock to save herself and her found family from the evil doctor who's convinced that Primrose is the answer to his quest for domination.

Rooted in historical realities, this Wizard of Oz reimagining takes listeners on a fantastical adventure with unique twists and a thrilling dip into the spirit realm. Pick up your copy of this spellbinding tale where good and evil battle for ultimate power.
