Our Book of the Month Is...

Steve is a widower trying to rebuild his life with his young daughter and his music. Solace comes slowly and when the painful loneliness is too great, he succumbs to his attraction for a newcomer to Whaler's Cove. Rose Marie, burdened with her own tragedy, instead has found the only companionship she needs in her heartache.

Terrified to love again, she flees Steve's small-town overtures for the lucre of corporate fast-track promises, where her anguish is diminished by the promising halcyon days of her boundless career.

Having served the corporate cause with valor, greater power and glory will be hers if she continues to go along. It's an easy choice. Yet, a distant voice sings from the recesses of her soul – "What will you pay?"

Whispered Angel stokes the heart and intellect in a tale of tenderness and wickedness that tests the strength of family, friendship and love in a crucible of executive immorality, domestic violence and cruel circumstance until redemption and justice come calling.
