Wildwood Creek by Lisa Wingate
Moses Lake Series Book 4
Allie Kirkland mourned her father and grandmother's passing and just did not seem to fit in with her mom's new family. Her step-dad wanted her to join his law office, she wanted to follow her dad's steps in the film business. And the opportunity has been provided. A chance as an assistant in a docudrama being filmed near Moses Lake. A mystery. All the people in the 1860's town of Wildwood had mysteriously disappeared. Never to be heard from again. Stepping into the past helped Allie see the present and future in a new light.
Bonnie Rose O'Brien was an Irish immigrant. After a tragedy, it's just her sister Maggie May and Bonnie left. Both are left with scars that will stay with them forever, inside and out. In 1861 she signs on to be a schoolteacher in Wildwood. She has no future ahead of her because of the past. Wildwood turns out to be nothing of what she expected. Will she has survived one nightmare in her life, can she survive a second?
This story is told from Bonnie Rose and Allie Kirkland's point of view. I could hardly put the book down once I started as the story pulled me in. It is so well written that at times the eras and characters seemed to blend into one. The scenery and tension could be seen and felt through the words on the pages. And the author pulled it together in the end in a brilliant finale that left me in tears, good tears. A mystery, a romance, a look into the past and more.
