This is a review for Rebecca Wenrich Wheeler’s Whispering Through Waters Tour which is part of the WOW! WOMEN ON WRITING TOUR. I was sent a copy of the book in exchange for this review but the thoughts in the review are all mine.
Just sitting here this morning looking at the cover of this book makes me want to grab a book and head to the lake. Were it would be peaceful and I could think without being disturbed. Do you think that is what this young lady is doing? Or is she reading a book? Because I can bet you a dollar she isn’t on any electronics.
A coming of age story in the 90’s as the main character faces graduation and life after. This is a fun book to read that will make the time fly by. From family secrets to love what more would you want in a book? I can’t wait to share this story with my girlfriends and I believe it will be a best seller and at one time we might have seen it as part of Oprah’s bookclub,
Book Summary
The coming-of-age story follows Gwyn Madison, the summer after her high school graduation, as she grapples with her fast-approaching future. She’ll have to face more than she bargained for with her Aunt Delia, the family matriarch, who holds the purse strings and the final word. In the meantime, Gwyn stumbles upon a tightly held family secret. Could a mysterious letter provide Gwyn the leverage she desires? Will it only bring more family division? Or, maybe, the past was never meant to stay buried after all. Whispering Through Water navigates family dynamics, young love, and female autonomy with a little 1990s nostalgia.

About the Author
Rebecca Wenrich Wheeler was raised in West Point, a small town in the Tidewater region of Virginia. From the moment she submitted her first short story to a young author’s contest in second grade, Rebecca knew she wanted to be a writer. Her love of writing led her to earn a BA in English and an MEd in English education. She spent several years as a high school teacher, during which she also developed a passion for mental health advocacy. Rebecca completed an MA in professional counseling and now works in the school-based mental health field and as a college adjunct psychology instructor. Rebecca also teaches yoga for the young and the young at heart, and she likes to infuse yoga and breathwork in her counseling practice wherever she can.
She believes the most valuable use of her time is teaching youth how to love and care for each other and the world around them. Her stories share her focus on positive relationships and a love of nature. Rebecca now lives in Durham, North Carolina, with her husband, two children, and two spoiled Siamese cats.
Whispering Through Water is her first YA novel and second book. Her picture book When Daddy Shows Me the Sky was released November 2021. You can follow Rebecca on Instagram @rebeccawwheeler_author and www.rebeccawwheeler.com.
