This
book blew my mind. I started reading the manuscript one evening, just
to get a sense of it before talking to the author for the first time the
next day. But I couldn't put it down, so I stayed up until nearly 2am
(and I'm old, so that's a big deal) to finish it. This is one book worth
losing sleep over.
Whisper Falls
While
training for a mountain bike race, high-school senior Mark Lewis spots a
mysterious girl dressed in odd clothing, standing behind a waterfall in
the woods near his North Carolina home. When she comments on the
strange machine that he rides, he suspects something isn't right. When
Susanna claims to be an indentured servant from 1796, he wonders if
she's crazy. Yet he feels compelled to find out more.
Mark enters a 'long-distance' relationship with Susanna through the shimmering--and temperamental--barrier of Whisper Falls. Curious about her world, Mark combs through history to learn about the brutal life she's trapped in. But knowledge can be dangerous. Soon he must choose between the risk of changing history or dooming the girl he can't stop thinking about to a lifetime of misery.
