Publisher Description
Following a family tragedy, siblings Lou and Oz must leave New York and adjust to life in the Virginia mountains--but just as the farm begins to feel like home, they'll have to defend it from a dark threat in this New York Times bestselling coming-of-age story.
Precocious twelve-year-old Louisa Mae Cardinal lives in 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 growing up in a new landscape, making her first true friend, and experiencing adventures tragic, comic, and audacious. When a dark, destructive force encroaches on her new home, her struggle will play out in a crowded Virginia courtroom...and determine the future of two children, an entire town, and the mountains they love.

A Fave
I'm a huge fan of David Baldacci anyway but this book hit it out of the park for me!
Weberreadin - Wish you well
Great book. Although different than Mr. Baldassi's other books, this took me right to the time and place. It reminded me of the hard times my ancestors had as told to me by my uncle. My great grandparent & grandparent were farmers and was told about the good and bad times they had. True to this story when one needed help the whole town pitched in to help. Wish things were that way today.
Anyway, I truly loved this book and had a hard time putting it down as with all of Mr. Baldassi's books.
Keep writing and I'll keep buying. I'm getting very close to having read all of his books. What will I do then?
me too
