Porter Osborne Jr. is leaving the familiarity of his rural Georgia home behind and heading off to college, where adulthood, independence, and an entirely new world are waiting for him.
Set in the South during the Great Depression, The Whisper of the River follows Porter as he navigates college life, friendship, faith, romance, temptation, and the sometimes painful process of figuring out exactly who he wants to become. Raised with deeply rooted values, he quickly discovers that life beyond home is much more complicated than the lessons he grew up with.
Funny, nostalgic, tender, and at times bittersweet, the novel captures that strange space between childhood and adulthood, when the beliefs you've inherited finally meet the person you're becoming.
At its heart, The Whisper of the River is about growing up, leaving home, falling in love, questioning what you've been taught, and discovering which pieces of your past you'll carry into your future.
