"We become allies with Luella Laurent when her husband, a celebrated college coach, is arrested for molesting boys at their lakefront basketball camp.
With compelling compassion, Ceone Fenn weaves the agonizing tale of Luella's emotional stages as she finds herself ostracized by her community, harassed at her teaching job, mistrusted by her daughter, and distanced from her grandson. Alienated and overwhelmed with the responsibility of becoming the sole caregiver for her husband's intellectually disabled sister, Luella has no one to confide in besides her reliable hair stylist, Trudy. The characters in It Happened at Whisper Lake are believable and multi-layered-human-the best and the worst of us and Fenn handles the tough topic like a glass sculptor-melting, refining, and annealing until fragile beauty emerges from the horrific circumstances. The reader will never forget the complicated impact an accused criminal's actions have on those who love them."
