    The Legacy of Writer Jennifer S_ Brown

    Jennifer S. Brown is the author of Modern Girls, which was a Goodreads Choice Award semifinalist for Historical Fiction, a Massachusetts Book Award “Must Read,” and a USA Today bestseller. Her writing has appeared in McSweeney’s, Fiction Southeast, Southeast Review, Hippocampus Magazine, Cognoscenti, and Bellevue Literary Review, among other places. Jennifer has a BFA in film and television from New York University and an MFA in creative writing from the University of Washington. She loves writing historical fiction because the research lets her live vicariously in another time and place. Jennifer has two (mostly grown) children, two beagles, and a husband who pretends not to hear her when she asks for more dogs. You can find Jennifer on Instagram (@brownjennys) or at www.jennifersbrown.com.“Don’t let the title fool you: Jennifer S. Brown’s latest is anything but quiet. From New York City’s crowded tenements to its supper clubs and secret speakeasies, The Whisper Sister takes readers on a heart-stopping journey of lies, passion, and shocking betrayal. When young Minnie Soffer arrives at Ellis Island a full seven years after her father, her family is greeted by a clean-shaven stranger who works for the city’s most notorious gangsters. Smarter than all the men in her family combined, it is only a matter of time before Minnie claims her rightful place as her father’s successor. Packed with tragic twists and stunning surprises, this Prohibition-era saga will have readers drunk on Jennifer S. Brown’s talent.” ―Lynda Cohen Loigman, bestselling author of The Two-Family House, The Wartime Sisters, and The Matchmaker’s Gift#JenniferSBrownLegacy#WriterJenniferSBrown#JenniferSBrownAuthor#LegacyOfStorytelling#InspiringAuthor
