by V.C. Andrews
Eighteen year old Emma lives in the beautiful country side in the UK. Having lived there her whole life she is a famous singer in her area in pubs and bars she is well known.
The bright lights of NY are luring her in and she's ready to come to the states.
It's so much harder to find her way in life in the states than she could ever imagine.
Things are more expensive and there are more girls vying for broad way parts that she could ever imagine. The competition is fierce. When she has a falling out with her room mate money becomes tight and parts far and few between.
In Whispering Hearts Emma is desperate for money and then a chance meeting may just be the way out of her money woes but it all comes down to morals. Will she
do the unthinkable for money?
The book was a bit drawn out in parts and not as good as some
of the other V.C. Andrews books I have read.
Whispering Hearts also has ended on a cliff hanger to make sure readers continue on with it.

A desperate young woman’s bargain with a wealthy couple is not what it seems. From the #1 New York Times bestselling author and literary phenomenon V.C. Andrews—whose books are now major Lifetime TV movies (Flowers in the Attic, Heaven, Ruby)—comes a gothic tale of big city dreams gone wrong.
The English countryside is beautiful, but for Emma Corey it cannot compare with the bright lights of New York City. Tired of performing only in pubs and at church, she announces she’s moving to America—and her conservative father disowns her on the spot.
Distraught but undeterred, Emma will become a Broadway star—or die trying. Leaving the comforts of her youth is a thrilling adventure. The largeness of the city, her new friends, the boundless opportunities make everything shine with promise. However, New York has a way of chipping away at a newcomer’s resolve. First a robbery. Then a low-wage job. Then the realization that such a city attracts the young and the talented—competitors all.
Just when it seems like Emma might have to admit defeat and return to the UK, she is introduced to a peculiar couple: a wife that cannot bear children of her own, and a husband who would pay Emma to solve that problem.
Emma’s father once told her, “Money is life.” But when Emma trades one for the other and moves into the couple’s remote estate to participate in an elaborate ruse, there’s no telling what kind of life she’ll have once she’s taken the money.
