Publisher's Synopsis
When the Johnson family relocates from bustling Chicago to the quiet, lakeside town of Glenwood, they envision a peaceful life in the grand yet eerie Hawthorne Manor-a plantation home inherited through their family line. But from the moment they arrive, subtle warnings and cold stares reveal a hidden darkness within the town. Glenwood, once a notorious sundown town, seems to hold secrets that refuse to stay buried.
As unsettling events unfold, the Johnsons uncover a deeply rooted legacy entwined with their ancestors-spirits bound to the lake and the land who have taken it upon themselves to protect Glenwood from the return of hatred and violence. When the town's worst offenders start disappearing without a trace, whispers echo over the water, messages left in the sand, and ancient justice rises from the depths.
Guided by the spirit of Naomi's ancestor, Ester, the Johnson family must decide whether to stay and honor their heritage or flee the town's ghostly grip. But as new families arrive and the community shifts, Naomi realizes that Glenwood is not just a haunted town but a place in need of healing-a land waiting to welcome those who carry love and respect.
In this atmospheric tale of family, legacy, and retribution, Whispers of the Lake explores the powerful bond between the past and the present, the price of injustice, and the enduring strength of those who watch over the land.
