Whispers from St. Mary's Well, a fictional family saga steeped in mystery and mysticism, chronicles the life of Caroline Rose Newlyn, a little girl born in St. Mary's County, Maryland in 1851. While researching her genealogy, Caroline's great-granddaughter, Carrie Rose Stillwell, the story's contemporary narrator, enters a hypnotic trance and witnesses Caroline's traumatic childhood, discovering truths about her own life by diving into the wellspring of her heritage. She sees that Caroline is born beneath the veil, a sign that she'll experience sporadic episodes of clairvoyance.
Caroline witnesses her family's traumatic losses, her mother's descent into deep depression, and a brutal murder that incites decades of racial violence. Virtually orphaned at a young age, she must figure out how to raise herself with help from spiritual allies and a supportive community.
