the hectic New York City of 1940 with her family.
Then tragedy strikes--and Lou and her younger brother,
Oz, must go with their invalid mother to live on their
great-grandmother's farm in the Virginia mountains.
Suddenly Lou finds herself coming of age in a new
landscape, making her first true friend, and experiencing
adventures tragic, comic, and audacious. But the forces
of greed and justice are about to clash over her new
home . . . and as their struggle is played out in a crowded
Virginia courtroom, it will determine the future of two
children, an entire town, and the mountains they love.

A different read from you, but the author is doesn't miss a beat...

You have got to read this one. It's a totally different story than I was used to, but I enjoyed the emotional ride just like the other thrillers...

Even though this book was published eight years ago, I decided to read it. Boy am I glad I did. This is one of the most beautifully written and heartwarming stories I've read. I just had to tell every one that if they enjoy REAL people who work hard for a living and get by using the brains God gave them then you will LOVE this book. This is about the triumph of the human spirit and decent folk helping their neighbors.
You will not be disappointed!

Wish You Well

Our story starts out with a family, mother, father, daughter and son. They are going for the day to have a picnic before they move to California so father can pursue his writing career there. Currently they live in New York City. On the way back, mother and father are discussing moving and mother wants to go live in Virginia where father grew up -- Father doesn't want to ever go back. They end up having an accident, which kills father and hurts the mother. The children end up going to Viriginia, taking their mother whom keeps her eyes shut and doesn't speak anymore; thinking if they wouldn't have been argueing maybe the accident wouldn't have happened.

Moving to Virginia Oz and Lou meet lots of characters, the great-grandmother Louisa, Eugene, Diamond, Cotton and some not so nice. A big gas company pressures Louisa to sell her property, but she says she will never leave the mountain. She has a stroke and it leaves her stuck in the hospital, unable to communicate, just like mother. The gas company takes her to court, even though she is unable to communicate saying that she is mentally unfit and can't take care of the children either. Will she be able to save her land? Will mother (Amanda) ever walk and talk again?

This book was so enthralling I couldn't put it down. Lou is a strong young lady and one of my favorite characters. You will love this book!

Wonderful story!

This is my first Baldacci book. I picked it up at a local swap meet, and I'm so glad I did. I loved this story about a young girl and her brother who go to live with their great-grandmother in the Virginia mountains! It really touched my heart. It also made me hungry...I now have a real craving for some homemade bread with butter! I'm definitely keeping it in my collection of best books to read.
