About this book

From the New York Times bestselling author of Becoming Mrs. Lewis comes a "heartrending, captivating tale of family, first love, and fate" (Kristin Harmel, New York Times bestselling author) about a woman who stumbles across a mysterious children's book that holds secrets about her missing sister and their childhood spent in the English countryside during World War II. 1939: Fourteen-year-old Hazel and five-year-old Flora evacuate their London home for a rural village to escape the horrors of the Second World War. Living with the Aberdeen family in a charming stone cottage, Hazel distracts her younger sister with a fairy tale about a magical land, a secret place they can escape to that is all their own: Whisperwood.But the unthinkable happens when Flora suddenly vanishes after playing near the banks of the River Thames. Shattered, Hazel blames herself for her sister's disappearance, carrying the guilt into adulthood.Twenty years later, Hazel is back in London, ready to move on from her job at a cozy rare bookstore for a career at Sotheby's. With a cherished boyfriend and an upcoming Paris getaway, her future seems set. But her tidy life is turned upside down when she unwraps a package containing a picture book called Whisperwood and the River of Stars. Hazel never told a soul about the storybook world she created just for Flora. Could this book hold the secrets to her beloved sister's disappearance? Could it be a sign that Flora is still alive after all these years? Or is something sinister at play?Inspired by the history of the Pied Piper Children, this novel is a poignant reminder of the magical power of stories to draw us together—and ultimately bring us home.
