A Whisper away from Heaven: Letters to my children
About
A Whisper Away From Heaven
Letters to My Children
In 1947, Burcell Strachan left the island of New Providence believing that one sacrifice would change his family's future forever.
The Contract promised opportunity.
Instead, it created forty-three years of silence.
Behind him remained two small children who adored their father, a difficult marriage already beginning to fracture, and the one person willing to hold their world together—his twenty-six-year-old sister, Edwina.
Known simply as Aunt Eddy, she became everything the children needed.
She became home.
While Burcell built an extraordinary life in America, his heart never left The Bahamas. Year after year, he wrote letters to the children he loved but never mailed them. He bought the yellow toy truck he promised his son and the doll he promised his little girl, carefully storing them away for the day he believed he would finally return.
That day never came.
Decades later, after Alzheimer's begins stealing Burcell's memories, his American family uncovers a lifetime of hidden letters and a forgotten past that changes everything they believed about the man they loved.
As two families separated by an ocean and four decades finally meet, they discover that love never disappeared...
It simply waited.
Spanning generations, continents, sacrifice, and forgiveness, A Whisper Away From Heaven is an unforgettable historical novel inspired by a chapter of Bahamian history and the enduring bonds of family.
Some promises are delayed by time.
Some love never leaves home.
