author: Radtke, R.M.
description: Kari Davies, a caregiver who oversees a single resident at the Whispering Creek Senior Home, is about to learn the truth. Tess Parker, a ninety-one year old woman who has resided within the facility's walls for several decades, hasn’t spoken a word in more than twenty-five years — until now. After months of research and digging into the silent woman’s past, Kari’s diligence is finally going to pay off. However, as the layers of time slowly peel away and Tess’s deepest, darkest secrets are revealed, it proves to be more than she bargained for and something she never expected. It doesn’t take her long to realize that her own life is about to change — forever.
