MADNESS, SECRETS, AND LIES

Wheeler, Arkansas, 1907

When their father descends into madness after the death of their mother, Verity Pruitt and her little sister Lilah find themselves on an orphan train to rural Arkansas.

In Wheeler, eleven-year-old Lilah is quickly adopted, but seventeen-year-old Verity is not. Desperate to stay close to her sister, Verity indentures herself as a farmhand. But even charming farm boy Abel Atchley can’t completely distract her from the sense that something is not quite right in this little town. Strange local superstitions abound, especially about the eerie old well at the center of the forest. The woods play tricks, unleashing heavy fog and bone-chilling cold . . . and sometimes visions of things that aren’t there.

But for Verity, perhaps most unsettling of all is the revelation that her own parents have a scandalous history in this very town. As she tries to unearth the past, sinister secrets come with it―secrets that someone will go to violent lengths to protect . . .

A haunting tale of long-buried secrets, small-town scandal, and single-minded vengeance by talented debut novelist Sarah Goodman.

Каждый, кто шагнет в лес после заката, не сможет укрыться от сумрака… Мать Верити и Лайлы умерла. Их отец не смог справиться с потерей любимой жены и оказался в сумасшедшем доме. Теперь сестры стали сиротами, которых вот-вот отправят в другую семью. Одиннадцатилетняя Лайла быстро находит новый дом, а семнадцатилетняя Верити – нет. Стараясь держаться поближе к сестре, Верити устраивается работать на ферму. Но даже тяжелая работа не помогает девушке отвлечься: она чувствует, что в маленьком городке что-то не так. Пугающие сны посещают ее каждую ночь, а у таинственного колодца в лесной глуши Верити все чаще встречает призрачные фигуры. Девушка…

MADNESS, SECRETS, AND THE LENGTHS WE’LL GO TO KEEP THEM BURIED

Wheeler, Arkansas, 1907

When her father descends into madness, Verity Pruitt and her little sister Lilah find themselves uprooted from New York, on an orphan train to rural Arkansas.

In Wheeler, Lilah is quickly adopted by the town’s beloved schoolteacher - but Verity is not. Willing to do anything to stay close, she pawns herself off as a farmhand, but even charming farm boy Abel Atchley can’t completely distract her from the sense that something is not quite right in this little town. Strange local superstitions abound, especially about the eerie old well at the center of the forest. The woods play tricks, unleashing heavy fog and bone-chilling cold…and sometimes visions of things that aren’t there.

But for Verity, perhaps most unsettling of all is the revelation that her own parents have a scandalous history in this very town. And as she tries to unearth the past, sinister secrets come with it - secrets that someone will go to violent lengths to protect.
A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Teen

"A historical thriller that is more spooky than it is scary, this audiobook, read by Lauren Fortgang, really brings to life the paranormal activity and suspense. The listener gets instantly transported to the early 1900s and every character is well represented through the narration." (School Library Journal)
