SECRETS\, AND LIES
Wheeler\, Arkansas\, 1907
When their fathe r descends into madness after the death of their mother\, Verity Pruitt an d her little sister Lilah find themselves on an orphan train to rural Arka nsas.
\nIn 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 A tchley can&rsquo\;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.
