Home to Whiskey Creek

August 1, 2013

Gang-raped as a sophomore by a group of popular high school seniors, shy Adelaide Davies kept quiet and fled Whiskey Creek as soon as she graduated. Now, more than a decade later, her reluctant return threatens the lives and reputations of the men involved, and someone will do anything to keep the truth hidden. When Noah Rackham, her high school crush and twin to one of the rapists, comes back into her life, she can't resist the passion that sizzles between them, even knowing the truth will doom their relationship. VERDICT The past impacts the present with devastating but ultimately salutary results in this engrossing, character-rich story that takes a hard look at responsibility, loyalty, and the results of telling (or concealing) the truth. Novak (When Summer Comes) lives in the greater Sacramento, CA, area.
