For Joy, hearing other people's thoughts, or "Whispers," is a gift. However, after her rebellious sister, Jessica, disappears, Joy realizes that "Hearing" has consequences and complications--and that sometimes families hold haunting secrets. Though it suffers from a sugar-coated ending, Kitanidis's plot-oriented story, with its crisp narration, is compelling.
