Whispers in the Branches

By: Brandy Heineman

Narrated by: Beverly Ann Astley

Tending to a void in her heart that demands to be filled, Abby Wells uproots her life in Ohio to move into the ancestral home in Georgia. Now that her mom is gone, it's her best chance to connect with the last of her family, and she can't deny the pull of the supposedly haunted house. The seductive comfort of believing that ghosts could be real drives her search, but Aunt Ruby's plans for Abby don't include revealing secrets kept for 70 years. Oh, there's dirty laundry she'd like to air - just not her own.

Indulging in the attentions of the house's handsome caretaker helps numb her pain, but Abby's ex-boyfriend won't let go of the past. He hounds her about his newfound religion in hopes of reconciling, but why reach for him or the God who couldn't or wouldn't spare her mom? In the stillness of the old house, the spirit world feels so close she can almost touch it. But she doesn't know yet that there's more than one way to be haunted.

Interesting story about family secrets!

Interesting story of a young woman chasing secrets of the past within her family. Intriguing bits about the house and its hidden past along with her family’s. I enjoyed the story overall, but I do wish it would have gone more into the past though instead of only for a handful of chapters to the 1940s. If you like southern U.S. fiction with family secrets and a possibly haunted house check this book out!
