From bestselling author and master storyteller David Baldacci, Wish You Well is a dramatic and enthralling tale of family unity in the face of adversity. Tragedy strikes the New York-based Cardinal family when their car is involved in a terrible accident. Twelve-year-old Lou and seven-year-old Oz survive, but the crash leaves their father dead and their mother in a coma. It would seem their world has been shattered forever until their great-grandmother, Louisa Mae, agrees to raise the children on her Virginia mountain farm. But before long their rural idyll is threatened by the discovery of natural gas on the mountain. Determined to protect her home from the ravages of big business, Louisa Mae refuses to sell, but when the neighbours hear of the potential wealth the company could bring, they begin to turn against her. And now the Cardinal family find themselves ensnared in another battle, to be played out in a crowded Virginia courtroom: a battle for justice, for survival, and for the right to stay together in the only place they know as home. Filled with both rich humour and desperate poignancy, Wish You Well is a tale of family, faith, humanity and prejudice, set in the 1940s against the magical backdrop of the Virginia high rock.

LuAnn Tyler aurait pu quitter Rikersville, tirer profit de son physique de reine et laisser derrière elle la misère des petits blancs du Sud. Mais - malchance, modestie, paresse - LuAnn est restée. Et comme sa grand-mère et sa mère avant elle, elle végète avec son amant dans une minable caravane. Lisa, son petit ange blond, rachète tous ses échecs. Aussi lorsque Jackson vient la tenter en lui proposant de remporter 100 millions de dollars à la loterie (moyennant une légère entorse à la loi) elle résiste. Mais Jackson l'a choisi pour partenaire et, de gré ou de force, elle doit lui céder. Destination danger avec femme pour cible, telle pourrait être la devise d'une Triche parfaite. Mais chez Baldacci, les armes sont à double tranchant et les rôles inversés : on aime les volte-face... Gare, donc, à la revanche des innocents.
