Sarah Darnell and her parents used to live in Springdale, Missouri where Sam almost drowned. A friend gave her CPR and saved her life, but she feels a connection to another world and a presence following her around. When she shares her experiences with her friends they abandon her. Her Mom seeks professional help for her. Her father receives a promotion and the family moves to Houston. Her father has procured an awesome house in a great neighborhood at below market price. Sarah immediately senses unrest in the house and the family soon learns that it was the scene of a gruesome murder. Great suspense, a developing romance, and ghostly visits make Whispers a most satisfying read. Whispers for the Dead was withdrawn from The Lackawanna, NY middle school library because of concerns that it dealt with the occult. It was later restored following accusations of censorship from some parents and teachers.
