Whispers from the Past (Whisper Falls) - Softcover

The history is well researched, and readers will enjoy the realistic portrayal of southern life in the late 1700s... Whisper Falls is a fun, action-packed story that will appeal to fans of Tamara Ireland Stone's Time Between Us (Hyperion, 2012) and Rachel Harris's My Super Sweet Sixteenth Century (Entangled Teen, 2012). -from a review for WHISPER FALLS. -- School Library Journal

I had some seriously high expectations for this last book. Elizabeth is such a fantastic writer and story teller, and I expected nothing less than epicness from her. She delivered. However, I ll also admit that there were a few things that rattled me about this last book.

As always, the writing was fantastic. Elizabeth has a way of weaving words that draws you in. She could write scientific formula...and I d probably still love her style. Her sentence structure, word choice, and flow will grab you and refuse to let go. So, be prepared...

Even though I had some issues with decisions made by the characters, Elizabeth did what an author is supposed to do. She made me feel. I felt everything. Happiness, sadness, anger, regret, frustration, sympathy. That s what books are meant to do: touch the reader.--De Anne St. Yves "Letters in the Sand book blog ""

The Whisper Falls series is unique in that it seamlessly combines historical fiction with a contemporary love story through magical realism and time travel. In the third book in the series, Whispers from the Past, Mark and Susanna are looking ahead to what their futures hold. Mark's focus is on choosing a college, while Susanna is trying to decide on what her dreams hold. In the midst of this, Susanna discovers letters from a dear friend from the past. Susanna must confront the consequences that her choices have made across two centuries and decide how to forge ahead into her future. The historical aspects of this series have been meticulously researched by the author, including using primary sources, and edited by a middle-school social-studies teacher. The Whisper Falls series is excellent for teaching the young adult audience about life in post-Revolutionary America, particularly the life of an indentured servant in North Carolina. The Whisper Falls series has received national marketing attention, including being featured at Book Expo America (BEA 2013 & 2014) and advertised in Booklist magazine (February 2014). The author actively promotes her books through local presentations, book signings, social media, and participation in national conferences. In 2013, Whisper Falls won a bronze medal from the Moonbeam Award for Exemplary Children's Fiction (YA Historical Fiction).
