Of Whispers and Wisdom is yet another sweet, clean, low-angst novella of 47,000 words. No major villains, just a gentle love story told from a Christian perspective in the usual style of Jae George.Excerpt: "Mama, I won't cause any problems, I promise," pleaded twenty-year-old Elizabeth Bennet pleaded as she struggled to comprehend what her parents were saying during their argument in the family's small parlor. Her father's words were easy enough to catch, but her mother's shrill voice was garbled and beginning to give Lizzy a headache. While twisting her head between Mr. and Mrs. Bennet, the tears began to spill from her eyes and down her cheeks.Sitting on the settee next to Elizabeth, her elder sister and dearest friend and companion Jane Bennet, took her hand in support. "Mama," Jane interjected, "Lizzy attending the local assemblies has never been an issue before. Why should she not attend the autumn assemble this evening?""Because, Jane dearest, we have never had a wealthy and eligible new neighbor attending our local assembly before. Mr. Bingley must be given only the very best impression of you and our family. We can't have your sister embarrassing us the first time he meets you."With her mother's more subdued speech and her turning to face Jane, and thus herself, Lizzy was able to understand each painful word that Mrs. Bennet had spoken. Blinking away the tears and turning her head, she looked directly at Jane before acquiescing to her mother's demands. "It will be fine, Janie. Papa says he is an affable young man, and Charlotte Lucas says that Sir William reports that he is also handsome. Mama is right. You will make a splendid impression on him. And I will be able to meet him after he has fallen in love with you." She finished by giving his beautiful but shy sister a teasing smile.
