About the Book:
Cadie Kessler has spent decades trying to cover up one truth. One moment. But deep down, didn’t she always know her secret would surface? An urgent message from her long-estranged best friend Daniela Garcia brings Cadie, now a forestry researcher, back to her childhood home. There, Cadie and Daniela are forced to face a dark secret that ended both their idyllic childhood bond and the magical summer that takes up more space in Cadie’s memory then all her other years combined. Now grown up, bound by long-held oaths, and faced with truths she does not wish to see, Cadie must decide what she is willing to sacrifice to protect the people and the forest she loves, as drought, foreclosures, and wildfire spark tensions between displaced migrant farm workers and locals.
My Review:
I really enjoyed this book and the main characters Cadie and Daniela. The author does a great job writing dialogue which sounded authentic, and the perfect amount of description so you felt like you were in the New England/New Hampshire.
I love how Ms. Dalton wrote a beautiful testament to the love of nature, as well as human behavior. I was enraptured by the writing, the words and the almost poetic language on the pages. This is a captivating story presenting the best of modern American literature.
This story is heartbreaking and awe inspiring at the same time. A truly poetic telling, a mystery, a tragedy, a friendship and secrets...beautifully written and it is without question worth the read.
Thank you NetGalley, Julie Carrick Dalton and Macmillan-Tor/Forge Books for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an impartial review; all opinions are my own.
