The Things We Wish
Were True by Marybeth Mayhew Whalen is the story of the Sycamore Glen
neighborhood of Matthews, North Carolina and one summer when tragedy strikes
and they pull together. Soon it becomes apparent that everyone has a secret, a
past and pain that they wish to hide. Zell Boyette is an older married woman
with grown kids who becomes the caretaker of Cailey after her brother nearly
drowns at the community pool. Lance Bryson is the newly single father of Alex
and Lilah. He has been struggling with life after his wife, Debra, picks up and
leaves. Bryte Lewis is struggling with her husband, Everett’s desire for
another baby and her desire to go back to work. Jencey is returning to her
hometown after a long absence with her two daughters. As old friends and old
jealousies emerge, the community must come together to help a family in need.
Will they be able to put their past behind them and help? Will old hurts keep
friends apart?
The Things We Wish
Were True is a great story of a small community where life seems perfect
but closed doors hide a myriad of secrets. There are secrets and unique issues
which bring the characters to life as if these people could be our next door
neighbors right now. This fast paced story will keep your attention as you read
everyone’s perspective on the events of one summer in North Carolina. I highly
recommend The Things We Wish Were True.
