Welles applied the Page 69 Test to When the Night Whispers and reported the following:
Page 69 is the beginning of chapter five and is entitled "Blood-red Roses." The chapter is marked by the beginning of an argument between Jocelyn, crazily in love with a dangerous man named Asa, and Mikela, her 12-year-old daughter who suspects the worst. On that page, and within the chapter, lies the beginning of Jocelyn's downfall--and the key to her final triumph.Learn more about the book and author at Valerie Wilson Wesley's website.
