Under redwoods older than empires, 11-year-old Shree's dreams are sinking fast. Power is down, food has run out, and a river of mud has erased the only road of escape. Shree is alone with her father. A father, who is hiding the worst of a growing storm. As the rains fall and a chorus of voices torments him, whispers begin urging Tony to kill his daughter.
Wendy and Shree first bonded over the pain of their dysfunctional families. Yet when Shree runs away from her angry, lying mother and disappears with her mythical father, Wendy is left alone to face her tormentors. Will a mysterious envelope from far away protect her from her abusive brother or the venom of her classmates? Will secret letters be enough?Part descent into psychosis, part ode to friendship, Will's Wake is a coming-of-age novel that asks if two children can untangle emotions and intentions to rescue each other when those they should look up to fall short.WARNING: Despite the two main characters being tweens, this novel is not aimed at children, as it wrestles with the nightmare of psychosis, drug use, suicide, and other mature topics.
