Whispers Beneath the Yuro Tree: Echoes Remember: A Boy's Journey Through Forest, Fear, and Fire

By Sarah Butcher

The village forgot the truth. The forest didn't.
For centuries, no one dared cross the edge of the Yuro Forest. Not because of beasts. But because the whispers never stopped. They told of ghosts, of fire, of a hunger that wore silence like a second skin.
And then a boy steps in.
When his younger brother disappears near the cursed border, nineteen-year-old Kani doesn't wait. He breaks the one rule every elder taught with trembling mouths: Stay out of the trees. What begins as a search turns into a shattering-of history, of tradition, of self.
This isn't just a young adult Caribbean myth adventure. It's a haunting, lyrical folktale fiction where memory breathes through bark, and grief walks in riddles. In a world where ancestral echoes shape the soil, Kani must listen or lose everything-including his soul.
Whispers Beneath the Yuro Tree is for readers who crave emotional YA books with depth. A coming-of-age forest journey steeped in Caribbean oral tradition, ancestral secrets, and burning truth. The trees aren't quiet. And neither is the past.
