‍ Whispers Across the Prairie (coming 6/1/26)

(A Prequel to the Emeline Series)

ON THE WILD PRAIRIE, FRIENDSHIP BEGINS IN SILENCE.

On the wide Missouri prairie, ten-year-old Emeline O’Connor knows how to listen—to the wind moving through tall grass, to the rhythm of farm life, to the steady comfort of her family’s love.

But when a new neighbor boy arrives—one who does not speak and seems to live by different rules of sound and silence—Emeline realizes there are many kinds of listening she has yet to learn.

As she navigates chores, friendships, and misunderstandings, Emeline must decide whether she is brave enough to slow down, pay attention, and truly see someone who communicates in ways unfamiliar to her. With patience, kindness, and a growing understanding of the world beyond her own experiences, she begins to discover that some of the most important conversations happen without words at all.

Whispers Across the Prairie is a tender historical novel about empathy, friendship, and learning to listen with the heart.

Whispers Across the Prairie is the prequel and third installment for the Emeline series.
