Publisher's Synopsis
Bestselling Debut Novel from screenwriter Bonné Bartron
A satirical thriller set in the not-so-distant past.
How could a myth kidnap a child?
Stacey Cooper is thrilled to treat her two sisters, Amalia and Emily and their four girls, to a week-long epic vacation in Orlando, Florida.
After a disturbing encounter with a man at a theme park, Stacey overhears the children discussing a monster they're convinced is following them.
Stacey assumes the kids are making up stories...until the unthinkable happens.
While the family prepares breakfast in their Airbnb, Stacey's eight-year-old niece is stolen. The only clue left behind points to an urban legend that predates the American Constitution.
The devastated women refuse to leave the scene of the abduction and spend every waking blurry-eyed moment chasing down stomach-churning leads, only to find themselves in a deepening hole of legends, collective trauma, and memories buried in time.
Before COVID, something more sinister began to spread throughout American society, Whispers takes a hard look at the origin of myth and the motivations behind the creators of legends.
