Daycare Whispers

Theresa Daye-Reed cherishes her life as guardian of pint-sized dreamers, foster mom to artistic Emily, and loving wife to charming librarian Alex. But as she navigates the joyful chaos of early pregnancy—complete with cravings, nesting instincts, and the thrill, a cryptic anonymous note shatters the calm. A desperate mother pleads for help deciphering her six-year-old daughter's eerie whispers and prophetic drawings, sketches that depict impossible scenes from Willow Creek's shadowy history: forgotten mill fires, echoing tunnels, and voices carried on the river's breath.

Teaming up with Alex's research prowess amid renovations for his new bookstore, Reed Between the Lines, and Mia's street-smart insights from the daycare, Theresa delves into a haunting tied to the town's past. Whispers that seem supernatural at first reveal deeper truths, perhaps echoes of trauma, family curses, or hidden artifacts amplifying unspoken fears. All the while, Theresa balances morning sickness during circle time, Emily's big-sister excitement mixed with pangs of jealousy, and the grand opening stresses of turning Alex's bookish dreams into reality. With Officer Daniels' reluctant aid and cameos from familiar faces, they navigate courtroom whispers, underground explorations, and heartfelt family moments, while devotedly shielding the littles from encroaching darkness.
