Best Ebook Whispers in the Branches, by Brandy Heineman
Tending a void in her heart that demands to be filled, Abby Wells uproots her life in Ohio to move into the ancestral home in Georgia. Now that her mom is gone, it's her best chance to connect with the last of her family, and she can't deny the pull of the supposedly haunted house. The seductive comfort of believing that ghosts could be real drives her search, but Aunt Ruby's plans for Abby don't include revealing secrets kept for seventy years. Oh, there's dirty laundry she'd like to air—just not her own. Indulging in the attentions of the house's handsome caretaker helps numb her pain, but Abby's ex-boyfriend won't let go of the past. He hounds her about his newfound religion in hopes of reconciling, but why reach for him or the God who couldn't or wouldn't spare her mom? In the stillness of the old house, the spirit world feels so close she can almost touch it. But she doesn't know yet that there's more than one way to be haunted.

It is very different from any book I have read before. The story moves along slower than I am used to, and took a while for me to get into it. Abby is the main character, and I found her hard to like. She wasn’t nice to those around her, from ex boyfriends to her best friend. She was at a difficult time in her life, and was looking for answers. Abby believed those answers were in the past. Once a ghost was mentioned, Abby was too curious not to move into her ancestors’ house to learn more about it. When her Aunt Ruby makes her a rent offer she can’t refuse, Abby leaves her best friend in Ohio and moves to Georgia.One of my favorite characters in this book is Greg her ex-boyfriend. He is missing Abby and doesn’t know what to do about it. Since they broke up he has built a relationship with God, and wants to do His will. Another character in the story I like is Will. Will also has a strong relationship with God and wants the same for Abby. Abby begins to like Will, but starts noticing that he’s different. Will Abby uncover the mystery her Aunt Ruby wants to stay hidden? Is leaving everything you know and going to a family you don’t know the best plan? Can God draw Abby away from ghosts and to himself?It was interesting to read a book where someone was researching their family tree and trying to discover the past. Abby had done similar things with her mother, and learned to research alone once she was gone. I enjoyed Abby’s passion for the past, and agree that everyone deserves a name. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys history and a ghost or two. I received a copy of this book for my honest opinion from Elk Lake Publishing and TBCN in exchange for my honest opinion., All opinions expressed are my own.

An Unsatisfied and Honest Review from a Person Who Won a Free Copy By Rachel This book was given to me in a Goodreads Giveaway, in exchange for my honest opinion.This is the first book I ever won in a Giveaway, and I was extremely excited because many religious books don't have ghost hunting or genealogy as themes. However, I found myself disenchanted with the book the more I read. Half way through the book I debated to stop reading because up to that point the book is very slow paced and the main female characters, Abby and Ruby, seem too prickly of characters. It's clear they're extremely traumatized from past events in their lives, but they use these as excuses to be conceited, rude, or have pity on themselves most of the time to truly care for. If not for the curiosity in reading what happens to ex-boyfriend, Greg, and stand in landowner and local dream boat, Will, I probably would have stopped. I'm glad I read more because that's when the book started getting livelier. Still these chapters were still too slow paced and the ending seemed anticlimactic. This book reminds me of those weekend movies that people have never heard of but give a chance because they sound interesting and have free time. At the end, you either feel like it was time well spent, or it was something to do with your time. When the book was done for me I was one of the latter mentioned; I had hoped to enjoy this book more than I did.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. finding answers By chrisGA This author’s debut novel is delightfully well-written and well-developed. Her characters are made vibrantly alive by their colorful expressions. Abby, the protagonist, explains her search for meaning as “I need my life to be different. Right now it’s the same it’s always been, but with holes.. . . . .It’s about filling the holes. Staying alive.” Of course, she acknowledges that “uprooting her life to become a ghost-hunter? Certifiably nuts.” We quickly identify with her and her problems and root for her to find peace and contentment. Ruby, on the other hand, is a bundle of secrets and contradictions. In her late eighties, she is feisty and wily. “A little excitement did the job of an egg-white facial—it didn’t halt time, but for a short while, at least reversed its effects.” She laments the restrictions on her life, but “they buzzed along…., til Death picked ‘em off like flies in a bug lamp. “ So far she has “escaped the bug whacker”. Other characters are similarly intriguing and filled with mysterious behavior and motivations. Altogether, we are presented with a cast that grabs us from the beginning and leads us on an adventure of discovery along with Abby. So many questions arise to be answered.As a Yankee who moved to near Kennesaw, Georgia, 45 years ago, I related to Abby’s reaction to Southern accents and Southern cuisine, especially sweet tea and grits. (Like Abby, I still don’t eat grits, cheesy or otherwise.) She shares her perception of some Southern cultural traits. “People back home either answered a question or told the asker to back off, but Will dangled by his good manners, helpless”. The vague lingering distrust of Northerners was humorously portrayed. The exploration of Southern living is interesting but plays a minor role, however. The real focus of the story is on the house and its secrets. Once again, the author paints vivid pictures for us. Was the “ghost flattened and trapped beneath the layers of paint”? And “The mood hung around like a sour smoke.” and “The eager welcome feeling shifted to a sense of being overshadowed. Consumed even.” Abby hopes the house will lead her to the truth about its history and her own. Is the ghost real? What is the deal with Will? What is the explanation for the weird lease? What is Ruby hiding? What family secrets will be revealed, and what effect will they have on everyone involved as they come to light?An underlying theme is the story of Abby’s faith journey. She looks for hope and answers in the past, but Will and Ruby know the only hope for her is found in relationship with God. I heartily recommend this engaging story of family, relationships, forgiveness and redemption. I received this book through The Book Club Network in exchange for this my honest opinion.
