As one of the bestselling writers of legal thrillers like Absolute Power, David Baldacci is known for his hair-raising plots and fast-paced suspense. But in a significant departure from his usual fare (though the end result is no less compelling), Baldacci slows things down a bit for his latest saga,Wish You Well, a story he culled from his own familys history and experiences. Its a coming-of-age tale reminiscent of that timeless classic, To Kill a Mockingbird, where the setting — Virginia mountain coal country in the post-Depression 40s — is as much a character as any of the people who walk the pages.
