    About this ebook

    A novel of friendships and the secrets that can destroy them—from the acclaimed author of Blood Orange, hailed as “John Grisham meets Jodi Picoult” (Booklist).
     
    Hannah, Jeanne, and Liz have been friends forever. Though time has separated them, they have never forgotten each other or the loyalty, love—and fear—that binds them. It’s been more than thirty years since they’ve spoken of incident at Bluegang Creek. But what happened near that shady stream has shaped their lives—and haunted their darkest hours.
     
    When Liz can no longer bear the silence, what she brings into the light will test the very limits of their friendship, and take all three women back to that fateful summer day when their innocence was shattered forever . . .
     
    A “skillfully crafted” novel of friendship and forgiveness, Wildwood explores the lengths to which women will go to protect themselves—and each other—in the name of loyalty and love (Judy Reeves).

      As a child, Hannah Whittaker is attacked by a teenaged boy. In the subsequent struggle, the boy dies. Her best friends arrive on the scene a short time later and the girls decide to simply walk away, leaving the boy's body to be discovered by someone else. Fast forward 50 years and each of the three women is facing a crisis in her own life. Attempts by one of the triad to initiate a dialogue about the long-ago incident fail but only when the re-examine the roles they played in the death of the boy do they begin to understand the problems they face in maturity.My reaction to this book was almost entirely neutral. It's not an awful book, although the characterizations are so weak that the three female characters sometimes seem identical in their motivation. The least likeable of the trio is, by far, the most clearly drawn. The plot is sadly predictable and many of the attempts to inject conflict or crisis into the story seem pointless. Still, it was somewhat entertaining; certainly a very fast and easy read. I would recommend it, with some reservations, as a nice book to take on vacation.
