About this eBook

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.

Impressed by the way Mr. Baldacci jumps out of his normal type stories of stories and intros' is into the rural parts of Virginia...a place I knew well because it is where I was raised for awhile as a boy. He took me right back there with all his scenery and smitten with his vibrant characters as well as their ways and terminology of the time.. Kudos Mr B ... And thank you so much for the enjoyment.

Different than most of the other Baldacci novels. Both heartbreaking and uplifting, this is a great read. The movie is faithful to the novel and brought tears to my eyes. Highly recommend this to add to your library.
