Preorder Now: Whispers of Her Worth by Tanya E Williams
There’s something magical about holding a story you’ve been waiting for, turning to the first page, and stepping into another time. That moment is almost here.
I’m thrilled to share that my newest novel, Whispers of Her Worth — A Hotel Hamilton Novel — is officially available for preorder starting today. The book releases on October 21, 2025, but you don’t have to wait until launch day to secure your copy.
Why This Story Matters
Every novel I write is a journey into the forgotten corners of history, and Whispers of Her Worth is no exception.
Set in 1928 Canada, this story unfolds in the very year the Supreme Court declared women were not legally recognized as “persons.” Imagine the weight of that ruling, the silence it enforced, and the women it erased.
Inside the gilded walls of The Hotel Hamilton, sisters Clara and Louisa Wilson confront those questions in their own lives. Their private struggles mirror the public battle for women’s voices to be acknowledged — a reminder that history is never only about dates and rulings, but about the lives shaped by them.
A Glimpse Into the Story ✨
A kerfuffle of some variety is taking place at the end of the hall. As I draw near, I realize the sound is coming from inside guest room 538. A few maids are huddled close and spilling out into the hall. Upon seeing me, their chins drop to their chests, and they part like the Red Sea.
I am about to open my mouth to offer a reprimand for their unbecoming behaviour when I spot a guest, seated at the end of an unmade bed, her eyes glued to a box radio on top of a short table.
“You are listening to CKWX. The news is official out of Ottawa this morning. The Supreme Court of Canada has issued a ruling with regards to the Person’s Case. They have ruled that women are not—I repeat, are not—qualified persons.”
This short passage captures the tension and the emotion that runs throughout the novel. Clara and Louisa’s voices echo the resilience of countless women, their choices pushing against the boundaries of their time.
Why Preorder Now?
Preordering isn’t just about reserving a copy. It’s about becoming part of the story before it even begins. Here’s why it matters:
-
Guarantee your copy. Be one of the first to step into Clara and Louisa’s world the moment the book is released.
-
Show support early. Preorders help books gain visibility, making it easier for other readers to discover the story.
-
Be part of the anticipation. There’s joy in knowing you’re reading alongside others who are just as eager.
