Former Marblehead resident Gabrielle Yetter released her new novel,” Whisper of the Lotus,” to support “Justice and Soul,” an anti-trafficking organization.
Inspired by her experiences while living in Cambodia, the book is about Charlotte Fontaine, a young woman who travels to Phnom Penh to visit her best friend and meets a mysterious elderly man on the flight.
When she arrives, she discovers a land of golden temples, orange-clad monks, and kind-hearted people, then realizes many things are not what they seem — including her own family relationships that bubble to the surface through a series of revelations.
