A his­tor­i­cal fiction nov­el, The Whis­per Sis­ter, is set dur­ing Pro­hi­bi­tion era, New York from 1920 through 1932. Where­as depic­tions of this time peri­od are some­times lim­it­ed to the Jazz Age and flap­pers, Brown gives read­ers a glimpse into the dan­gers and thrills of speakeasies through the eyes of dar­ing and brave Jew­ish bar own­er Min­nie – tracing one immigrant family’s fortunes and a young girl’s journey from the schoolyard to the speakeasy.

Jennifer S. Brown’s debut novel, Modern Girls, was a USA Today bestseller, a Massachusetts Book Award “Must Read,” and a 2016 Goodreads Choice semifinalist for Historical Fiction. Her second historical novel, The Whisper Sister, takes place in the time of Prohibition.
