Product Description
Product Description
The Virginia Plantation Poplar Ridge is sprawling, secluded, and foreboding. Chris Olson is immediately swept into its somber history and an inexplicable, electrifying passion for Geoff Cameron, her best friend's brother. Dreams of a Confederate soldier who strongly resembles Geoff and a haunting one-eyed scout cloud her mind further. Through the eyes of the long-dead Margaret, Chris witnesses mysterious events shrouded in the conflict of the Civil War, until little by little, she uncovers Margaret's dark and terrible secret--and Geoff's connection to the enchanting woman from the past.

An emotionally moving historical drama,
By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Whispers from the Grave (Paperback)
Award-winning historical fiction author Kim Murphy presents Whispers from the Grave, a novel set on the modern-day Virginia plantation of Poplar Ridge. Intrigued by the plantation's history, Chris Olson becomes mesmerized by dreams of a Confederate soldier who oddly resembles Geoff Cameron, the brother of her best friend. As she becomes more deeply drawn into the mystery of the past, as seen through the eyes of the long-dead Margaret, she must reconcile her growing passion for Geoff with his connection to the tragedy and dark hidden secrets of the past. An emotionally moving historical drama, steeped in lore and vivid impressions from America's war-torn era.

Fascinating historical tale wrapped inside a modern ghost story,
By J. Gardener - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Whispers from the Grave (Paperback)
When Chris Olsen visits her old friend's Virginia plantation, Poplar Ridge, she has no idea she'll end up in the middle of a ghost story. Soon after her arrival, however, she experiences the world of a long-dead woman through dreams and visions--and becomes the catalyst for uncovering Poplar Ridge's dark secrets that span back to the Civil War.
Murphy's novel is a fascinating historical tale wrapped inside a contemporary story of ghosts, love, heartbreak, and perseverance. She skillfully links the past and the present, and her portrait of Virginia will have you longing to visit her vibrant settings. Murphy has a knack for uncovering aspects of history that other authors tend to ignore, namely the stories of civilians coping with their war-torn world. Her ability to show that war trauma isn't only an affliction of men on battlefields elevates her fiction above other novels involving wartime love stories. A must read. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:

Eerily Spellbinding,
By Vickie L. Mediate - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Whispers from the Grave (Paperback)
Very enjoyable reading. I found Whispers From the Grave to be a captivating novel. The dynamics of the characters living in essentially two time periods kept me excited to get to the next page. I've not a read a book recently with a supernatural theme, that held my interest quite so well.
The scenery was beautifully painted in words. I felt like I had been there myself. I think Kim Murphy's knowledge of the geography and history of Virginia are obvious in her descriptions of the locations. I found it fascinating how the characters were linked by both the 19th and the 21st centuries. I think that anyone that enjoys a bit of history and the paranormal will enjoy this novel. |
