Wildwood Creek

By: Lisa Wingate

Narrated by: Morgan Hallett, Heather O'Neill

Allie Kirkland has never been one to take wild risks. But when she's offered a costuming assistant's job on a docudrama in the hills near Moses Lake, she jumps at the chance. She's always dreamed of following in her director-father's footsteps, and the reenactment of the legendary frontier settlement of Wildwood is a first step. The family expectations will have to wait. But in 1861, the real Wildwood held dangerous realities. Town founder Harland Delevan held helpless residents, including young Irish schoolteacher Bonnie Rose, in an iron grip. Mysterious disappearances led to myths and legends still retold in the folk songs of Chinquapin Peaks. Eventually, the entire site was found abandoned. When strange connections surface between Allie and the teacher who disappeared over a century ago, everyone in Wildwood, including Allie's handsome neighbor on the film set, Blake Fulton, seems to be hiding secrets, and Allie doesn't know who she can trust. If she can't find the answers in time, history may repeat itself...with the most unthinkable results.

Worth waiting for

In my opinion, this is the best book in the series! I would love to read more about the people of Moses Lake. I especially love it when things come full circle and lives intertwine!

A Rugged and Sweet Story

Excellent story and performance! I loved it! and wasn't ready for it to end.

Compelling and uplifting

This is a new author for me and I am about to settle in to a binge reading campaign reading all the titles I can find.

Great combination of mystery and drama!

I have read a couple of Lisa’s books and I really liked them. I found this one was included in my membership so I just downloaded it without much expectations. However, this is so much more than I expected. This story combines mystery and drama, love and sadness, all at the same time in present time and old time.
The narration was spot on. It makes you feel inside of the story.
The ending was beautiful and inspiring. I really recommend this book.

Making of a period movie

This is the second time I’ve listened to this book. I am a historical fiction lover and even though this isn’t based on a real place or person, I loved hearing how they re-created the town for the movie. It’s a fantastic story.
