In Whispers of the Wild, a woman finds herself deeply connected to the creatures of nature, surrendering her body to their gentle explorations. As she lies in the heart of rice fields and by the serene pond, beetles, leeches, snails, and slugs claim her belly as their sanctuary. They crawl, nibble, and nestle into the warmth of her soft and sensitive navel, each movement bringing a mix of pain and tranquility and pleasure to her. She embraces every sensation, allowing them to feed, rest, and explore her navel as if it were their home. In this surreal bond, she discovers a profound harmony, offering herself completely to the rhythm of the wild.
I am insufficient. Well, that's not my name obviously, but that's what my family has decided I am.
I'm Julie. I'm 14, about to be 15 years old. I have a twin sister, Jamie. Jamie is an angel. Perfect at everything, and can do no wrong. At least in my family's eyes. And I? I am not perfect. I am a disappointment. Though they've never said that to me outright, I know that's what they truly think.
The apparent "last straw" was when Jamie fucked up and I took the fall for it. Now, I'm on my way to live with some of my more distant relatives back in Italy. They're supposed to "put me back in my place."
So now I get to go live with 3 Italian Capo's.
Sounds like fun right?

What happens when Julie gets sent away? And what happens when her relatives receives a girl they had been brought to believe was a troublesome, borderline delinquent teenager, but is actually just a confused, dissociative little girl with a messed up idea of what family really means.
And what happens when Julie comes to realise that the people she was living with, weren't all who they said they were?
