Wish You Well is the story of Louisa Mae Cardinal, a precocious twelve-year-old girl living in the hectic New York City of 1940 with her acclaimed but sadly underpaid writer father, her compassionate mother, and her timid younger brother, Oz.
Wish You Well is a breathtakingly beautiful achievement from an author who has the power to make us feel, to make us care, and to make us believe in the great and little miracles that can change lives - or save them.
Baldacci's eloquent use of language in Wish You Well transforms readers to another time and place - a time when America's agrarian existence was beginning to transform into industrialization and a place where the land was the heart and soul of the community.

 Bookreporter.com - WISH YOU WELL by David Baldacci
And in WISH YOU WELL, we get...well, there is a lawyer in it, and some angry farmers set a neighbor's barn on fire, which I guess is either intrigue or a double-cross; but that notwithstanding, you're not going to get your standard Baldacci fare here.
While WISH YOU WELL is most definitely a novel, it reads like a series of progressive vignettes, each chapter telling a small story of gains and losses, happiness and regret, strength and fragility, while maintaining a cohesiveness within the greater whole of the novel.
The genesis of WISH YOU WELL is Baldacci's heritage.
