Whispers in the Branches

“In Whispers in the Branches, debut author Brandy Heineman pens a fast-paced, entertaining and ultimately touching story mixed with ghosts and genealogy and sprinkled with God. Her delicious prose sizzles and soars as she introduces grieving Abby Wells who uproots her life in Ohio to search for family secrets in Georgia. Abby encounters a haunted house, a feisty great aunt and a young, handsome caretaker in her new surroundings as she grapples with grief, the truth of her family’s past and the unseen presence of something deep and spiritual.”

“As a lover of research and genealogy, this novel was a soul-treat. Abby Wells hears the siren call of buried family secrets. Add to that a ghost and a love triangle, and Whispers in the Branches is one suspenseful read. I was hooked and couldn’t put it down. Heineman is a talented storyteller.”

“Whispers in the Branches is a lovely debut for Southern novelist Brandy Heineman, whose interesting characters and well-crafted prose create a story with heart and depth. As the tenacious young heroine explores the mysteries haunting her family tree, the past and the present come together with surprising answers and with lasting treasures.”

“When Abby Wells returns to her family roots in Georgia, she has no idea that her passion for genealogy hunting will entangle her in past and present family ghosts. Fans of Southern mysteries and ghost stories will love this hauntingly redemptive tale of old and new loves, and what really matters at the edge of eternity. A beautiful, thought-provoking read.”
