Secret Whispers back cover blurb

A house where silence hides fractures.

A family stitched together by secrets.

A girl whose mind blooms with both brilliance and shadows.

A boy whose awkward fire sparks light in her darkness.

Together, they navigate the perilous corridors of adolescence-

where cruelty wears familiar faces, danger breathes down hallways,

and love dares to root itself in fractured soil.

Adria is no ordinary junior. Painter. Dreamer. Caretaker of siblings. Keeper of a thousand masks. Beneath it all, her world teeters-haunted by whispers she cannot silence, visions she cannot explain. Schizophrenia coils in her bloodline like a curse, already claiming an uncle and an older brother. Now, it comes for her.

Love flickers, improbable and luminous, daring her to believe in something beyond survival.

But how do you hold on to hope when your own mind questions what is real?

Poignant, lyrical, and unforgettable-Secret Whispers is a haunting portrait of a girl balancing the quiet devastation of mental illness with the unyielding desire to love, to dream, and to endure.
