About
Secret Whispers is a novel by V.C. Andrews, published in 2010. The family home is a grand mansion in Kentucky, and the book opens with Semantha Heavenstone finishing at an exclusive private school in the middle of a scandal rather than at the end of one.
She comes back to the house where she grew up, and the memories waiting there belong to her mother and to her older sister, Cassie, whose domineering voice has not gone quiet. Cassie's taunts and manipulations reach Semantha as clearly as they did when she was alive, which makes the house a harder place to return to than the school she has left.
The family is about to change again, because her father is going to remarry, and a new stepmother and new memories will displace the old ones. The novel follows Semantha towards a future that is being arranged around her, and towards the question of whether the voice she hears is a memory she cannot put down or something that is still being done to her.
