The Whispers Within: Will Whispers Be Enough? Nilsa L. Cleland

I had no idea how long it had been I had been away; a Spiritual Guide's time was measured very differently compared to human lifetime. Was it a day later, or had one or twenty years passed? Right now, I had my first assignment, Mari Santiago, a sixteen-year-old teenager struggling to survive her family's domestic violence and sexual assaults in the tough streets of New York. The Whispers Within reveals the parallel of two dissimilar lives between teenagers: one alive and the other dead. Mari Santiago from inner-city New York comes to know Candace Spencer, her new spirit in a manner she would have never dreamt. Candace, having lived life at the opposite economic strata from the life Mari was accustomed to, is only equipped with whispers of encouragement to defeat Mari's demons. How will Candace handle returning to earth as a spirit when she did not deal with her own nemesis while alive? Will Mari be consumed by the demons that surround her, or will Candace pave a way for Mari to flee them? Will they both come to know each other's demons? Will Candace's whispers be enough?
