Wish You Well

by David Baldacci






For March and April we read a very touching novel called Wish You Well. A departure from Baldacci's thriller-type books, this story was inspired by his mother's upbringing in Virginia. Set in the 1940's, it is the story of two children who move from New York City to their grandmother's farm in Virginia. Their grandmother is a hearty old woman who teaches them a great deal about farming and about life.

Our meeting spot was El Rocoto, a small Peruvian restaurant. The staff was very friendly and the food was good - large plates of meat and potatoes, very hearty.
