Ashley Audrain is the author of a dark family drama novel called The Whispers. The story is about four families who live near each other. Each chapter is narrated by a mother in one of those five families. One family is the Loverly family. They have a party for the neighborhood. In the midst of the party Whitney, the mother, can be heard yelling at her 10 year old son, Xavier. The Loverly's best friends, the Parks, have a ten year old daughter who is friends with Xavier. The Goldsmith's are a childless couple and the wife is a ER doctor. An elderly couple lives next door and are ignored by the younger families. One night Xavier falls out of his bedroom window. He is brought to the ER and treated by Dr. Goldsmith. As he lies in a coma, each family is considering their role in this accident. Each family has some crazy suspicious about the other families. The book was interesting and I am glad not to live in that neighborhood.
