Synopsis:

Whispers: The heart's way of speaking...

Madison Ragnar is a high school English teacher determined to connect with her students, to finish the next running race with a respectable time, and to avoid ever falling in love again.

But life has other plans for Madison. A man named Michael shows himself in the most unexpected places, raising questions from her best friend, Olivia, and issues around Madison's last relationship.

In the classroom, the death of a student prompts her grieving ninth graders to depend on her for answers. They turn to journal writing as a form of understanding the weight of what's happened in the walls of their teenage existence.

When Madison meets Phil, who throws a wrench in her declaration to not fall in love, it seems that her escape through miles of running is the only real footing she has in life.

Will fate determine Madison's life? Or will she have a say in its outcome?

My Review:
Loved, loved, loved this book!!  Heather Hummel has an amazing way of keeping the reader completely engulfed in the story from page 1.

Madison is a well-liked and totally relateable character from the first page.  She's in a rocky marriage to start, which she immediately runs away from to start a better life for herself.  Along the way, she encounters many challenges, including love, loss, and heartache.

How can you not love this book??  I found myself rarely able to put the book down, reading it in a matter of a few days.  I recommend this book to anyone wanting to read a beautifully-written chick lit novel that will keep you turning pages eagerly.  I can't wait to start Heather Hummel's next novel! :)
