Southeast Review, Hippocampus Magazine, Cognoscenti, and Bellevue Literary Review,
among other places.
Jennifer has a BFA in film and television from New York University and an MFA in creative
writing from the University of Washington. She loves writing historical fiction because the
research lets her live vicariously in another time and place. Jennifer has two (mostly
grown) children, two beagles, and a husband who pretends not to hear her when she
asks for more dogs. You can find Jennifer on Instagram (@brownjennys) or at

York City’s crowded tenements to its supper clubs and secret speakeasies, The Whisper
Sister takes readers on a heart-stopping journey of lies, passion, and shocking betrayal.
When young Minnie Soffer arrives at Ellis Island a full seven years after her father, her
family is greeted by a clean-shaven stranger who works for the city’s most notorious
gangsters. Smarter than all the men in her family combined, it is only a matter of time
before Minnie claims her rightful place as her father’s successor. Packed with tragic
twists and stunning surprises, this Prohibition-era saga will have readers drunk on Jennifer
S. Brown’s talent.”
