Product Description
by B. J. Kirven (Author)
When a smallpox outbreak kills her first child, Jennie Duncan attempts to escape the excruciating pain and disappointment of the loss by persuading her husband, Perry, to pack up their family and head west toward Wyoming Territory.
Strong-willed, beautiful, and very tough, Jennie has her gentle, mild-mannered husband wrapped around her finger. He finally agrees-despite the certain hardships waiting on the wagon trail.
Jennie and Perry pack up their three small children and set out through hostile tribal territory. As they travel over harsh geographical terrain and through treacherous weather, the Duncans remain vigilant against attacks from warring Indians, dangerous animals, and other unknowns in the desolate land.
As they press further into their new life, however, Perry comes to see that perhaps the greatest threat to his family's well-being comes not from external forces but from within the family: his own wife.
Based on real events as well as Western folklore passed down through the years, Wicked Whispers Spoke Their Names is a chilling and suspenseful story about a young family attempting to forge a new life in a barren and haunting landscape-both physical and psychological.
