Synopsis
Set in the 1940s, WISH YOU WELL tells the story of 12-year-old Louisa May Cardinal's coming of age. Born and raised in the Big Apple, Louisa is sent to live with her grandmother in the Appalachians after her father is killed in a car accident. The Virginia mountain folk teach Louisa rustic values, but Baldacci throws some trademark elements of action and suspense into his homespun tale. When evil businessmen come around, looking to exploit the land for profit, high-speed car chases and a dramatic courtroom climax result.

Industry Reviews
"I might say about this novel what another reviewer said about one of mine: The author threw in everything but the kitchen sink, and a second reading would probably turn up the sink as well. But that is not necessarily bad. Baldacci is a commercial novelist who knows how to stir the pot. If WISH YOU WELL is not literature, neither is it ever dull."
Washington Post - Patrick Anderson (11/13/2000)
"A little slow but nearly always engaging, WISH YOU WELL is an honorable and solid effort by the author to break out of his genre origins into something more rounded and substantial."
Chicago Tribune Books - Chris Petrakos (02/04/2001)
