Caroline Shannon Davenport creates a world where little things matter, where a kind word can change lives. Her characters' strong moral compasses point true north and guide them to establish priorities that help them navigate an ever-changing world. I wish Davenport had been around when I worked at Curtis Brown Literary Agency. —WENDY FRENCH

 

Caroline's novel is a finely crafted remembrance of first love that takes us back on a journey to a time and place long gone and forever changed but not forgotten. She teases out memories almost faded like a morning dream and brings them to life for us. Did such people exist, really? Was there ever such a time? Indeed, there was. — DAVID PARMER, PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER

 

Despite the sorrow woven into its pages, the memoir offers insights into life lessons hidden beneath tragedy's weight. Emotionally gripping and beautifully written, Terror at the Sound of a Whistle is a must-read for those drawn to tragic love stories and unconventional coming-of-age narratives. —THOMAS ANDERSON, LITERARY TITAN
