"An Owl's Whisper," a novel In the shadow of evil, truth is the
riskiest choice. Open "An Owl's Whisper" and enter Eva's world-one
of truth and lies, refuge and peril, loyalty and betrayal,
innocence...guilt...redemption. Eva Messiaen is a convent school
girl in 1940s Belgium when Hitler's invasion and occupation
eclipses continental Europe in a black shadow. Her controlling
guardian, Uncle Henri, calls childhood a weakness and orders that
she subvert her desire for a normal life to something nobler. To
the girls around her, Eva is a beacon of light, but they don't know
her dark secret. Eva can accept the loss of her childhood to the
savagery of war but an atrocity exposes the hollowness of Henri's
vision and changes everything. It shatters her fragile world and
spurs her to strike back at the Nazis. She has the moxie to set
their web of evil ablaze, but does she have the wits to escape its
flames unscorched? "An Owl's Whisper," built on themes of guilt and
redemption, tells Eva's powerful story.
