When Elena moves to small-town Belvedere her junior year, she worries about fitting her high-achieving self into a new small-town school. When she starts hearing voices, the challenges wildly multiply. Told from the points of view of Elena, her mother, and a new frenemy named Kat, Voices explores relationships between women and the stories we tell ourselves--with a dash of magical realism thrown in.

​

Elena Tannin quickly fits in, but falters when she starts hearing voices. She must confront the weirdness when one of the voices is Kat’s, and she begins answering Kat back using only her mind. Kat harbors a psychic gift, the Talent, shared among a secret group of women and passed from moms to daughters. Kat determines that Elena doesn’t know about the Talent, is falling apart under the weight of her gift run amok, and needs her help. Why hasn’t Elena’s mother, Meghan, taught her about the Talent? To logical Meghan, Elena’s issues sound like the schizophrenia that lurks in her husband’s shadowy past. 

​

Secrets are slowly revealed, and the women must determine how much of the truth to share. Told from the alternating perspectives of Elena, Meghan, and Kat, Voices is a coming of age story told through the lens of magical realism.

VOICES WILL BE RELEASED JUNE 19, 2025.
