Sinopse

Award-Winning Author Pens a Unique Southern Tale 
 
When Minerva Jane Jenkins was just 14 years old, she married a man who moved her to the mountains. He carried with him a small box, which he told her was filled with gold. And when he died 50 years later, he made her promise to keep his secret. She is to tell no one about the box or the treasure it contains. 
 
Now 94, Minerva is nearing the end of what has sometimes been a lonely life. But she's kept that secret. Even so, rumors of hidden gold have a way of spreading, and Minerva is visited by a reporter, Del Rankin, who wants to know more of her story. His friend who joins him only wants to find the location of the gold. Neither of them knows quite who they're up against when it comes to the old woman on the mountain. 
 
As an unlikely friendship develops, Minerva is tempted to reveal her secret to Del. After all, how long is one bound by a promise? But the truth of what's really buried in the box may be hidden even from her.

    In an era determined to silence women, two sisters must decide what it means to be truly seen. 
Vancouver, 1928. Change is sweeping across Canada as the courts prepare to decide whether women are to be recognized as “persons” under the law. Inside the gilded walls of The Hotel Hamilton, Clara and Louisa Wilson grapple with questions of love, ambition, and the roles they are expected to play—decisions that could alter the course of their lives as profoundly as the verdict unfolding in court. 
For Clara, The Hotel Hamilton has always been both a responsibility and a refuge. But as she steps into the role of temporary hotel matron, she finds herself torn between the value she discovers in her work and the life she might forfeit if she chooses marriage—convinced she cannot have both. 
Louisa, never one to remain silent, divides her days between her duties as a maid and a flourishing career on stage. After months of captivating audiences, her sights are set on Hollywood. But when a new director reduces women to mere ornaments in his productions, Louisa must summon the courage to speak out and trust her own talent to carry her forward—or risk losing the future she has fought to claim. 
As the Wilson sisters wrestle with loyalty, love, and the pursuit of independence, the ripples of the Persons Case echo through their lives, compelling them to ask: Who decides a woman’s worth? And how far will they go to seize it? 
Sweeping in history and rich with emotion, Whispers of Her Worth is a powerful story of sisterhood, resilience, and quiet defiance. This unforgettable chapter of The Hotel Hamilton Series will immerse you in its world and echo in your heart long after the final page.
