Description
A fun and enchanting modern fairytale.
When a strange man puts in a strange request at the bakery where she works, Riley must go on a mini-adventure to find one unusual ingredient. Along the way, she realizes that things are not always what they seem and that fae might just be real. A micro-story that can be read in one sitting.
To celebrate paperless reading experiences and the magic of the Whisper Wood, the author has partnered with One Tree Planted. For every audiobook sold within the first year from release, one tree in North America shall be planted.

Advance Praise
"I'm a huge fan of short stories and this one did not disappoint. It sent me back to my own childhood of listening to Slavic folktales. Aside from the modern finish of the story, this would have fit in perfectly among them. The story has lovely imagery and writing and I was particularly drawn to the descriptions of nature. "
- Mosie, Amazon Review
"Totally absorbing till the last word."
- Amazon reviewer
"What a magnificent story. 'True loaf' is a very short story...The book gave me eerie, sinister vibes. It’s a very compelling story line. Some readers might not understand why Riley didn’t ask questions or say no. That’s the thing when you read about folklore stories. You can expect the unexpected. I really enjoyed it."
