Whispers Down the Lane
Book 1 of the Summerhill Secrets series
144 pages · First published 1995
Merry Hanson is alarmed when her friend Lissa arrives bruised and frightened and needs somewhere to hide. Harboring a runaway puts Merry in conflict with both the police investigation and the dangerous adult Lissa is trying to escape. Merry turns to her Amish friend Rachel Zook, and the girls attempt a risky plan to help. Beverly Lewis’s SummerHill Secrets novel combines Christian YA fiction and suspense around friendship, abuse, and the difficult realization that helping someone in danger may require involving trustworthy adults rather than keeping every confidence.
