WHISPERS OF THE HEART is a moving drama of one woman's quest to find happiness in a life filled with power, prestige, and wealth. It is the story of an independently wealthy young heiress whose business savvy doesn't quite translate to her personal life.

It is a tale you will not only identify with, but also will laugh and cry with. And along the way, you will journey through a powerful and captivating love story that will endure for all time.

Erika Crawford, the heroine, is on the brink of realizing a life ambition by becoming President of Capital Textiles. To Erika, her life reads like a fantasy. She was one of the youngest female executives to take office of a Fortune 400 company and also was engaged to one of Beverly Hills brightest and most talented bachelors.

A public humiliation sends Erika on a defining journey to a wilderness community in North Idaho where through a changed identity, she discovers the unexpected ... a possible life-time love.

In the majestic mountains and pristine waters of a tiny North Idaho village known as Kootenai Bay, Erika Crawford, now Marie Bancroft, finds more than she bargained for. An unsettling emptiness awakens her to the richness of relationships in a tightly-woven community where life-time friendships are forged in the remote wilderness village.

WHISPERS OF THE HEART also is the story of a man, T.J. Morgan, a corporate magnet, notorious playboy, and heir to one of the world's largest fortunes from one of the nation's oldest monied families. At the snap of a finger, every human desire and wish can be fulfilled. Except one. The love and commitment of a woman who will share not only his life ... but also his soul.

T.J. meets Marie Bancroft at his ancestral home, Bear Creek Lodge; a log structure nestled in the Selkirk Mountains of North Idaho. He finds a woman of rare and exquisite beauty. T.J. is drawn to her in spite of her obvious secrets and deceptions. She is without questions, the woman of his dreams. But could she live the life of a wealthy socialite?
