Meredith Sue Willis has written her 22nd book
Meredith Sue Willis has written her 22nd book, and this latest one is with Mountain State Press!
Meredith’s new novella, Saving Tyler Hake, is set in southern West Virginia in fictional Smith County. The story begins with a tragedy and continues with the challenges of young Tyler Hake. His high school teacher, and her fellow teacher friends, rally to help Tyler, but trouble, in the form of Geneva Burden, arrives causing the helpful characters to question their own histories. It’s a story steeped in the realizations we all have for our past, and current, motives.
Welcome back to West Virginia, Meredith, born in Shinnston, WV, and thank you for adding to the stock of stories that help us all remember who we are.
