Wreath, In Summer: A Wreath Willis Novel
Wreath Willis expects a summer of fun in Landry, Louisiana—with a roof over her head, an almost-boyrfriend, a growing group of people who care for her, and the vile Big Fun behind bars. But the arrival of an unnerving—and oddly intriguing—stranger catapults Wreath into a predicament that threatens her friendships and future. The stranger is desperate to find his sister, who may or may not be the victim of foul play. Wreath can’t resist the urge to get involved—she knows a little about desperation, after all—but is that a good idea?
