The Rivers Under the Earth by Thornton Wilder
It's been six years since Mallory James left Moonglade, a former sugar plantation in the shadow of Australia's magnificent rain forest. Now love and loyalty have called her home--but unspeakable secrets may compel her to flee once more. A successful child psychologist, Mallory has no wish to return to the tropical hideaway where she experienced so much pain. But her Uncle Robert is ailing and it's only right that she be there for the man who came to her rescue when she was a lost, lonely child. At least he is not alone--his prot g , and Mallory's rival for his affections, is also at his side. Blaine Forrester hasn't lost his knack for getting under Mallory's skin, taking her breath away and leaving her unsettled at the same time. While Robert recuperates, Mallory is shocked to learn that Jason Cartwright is on the payroll of his estate--the very man whose humiliating betrayal led her to leave North Queensland on the eve of her wedding. Confronting him--along with his wife and his manipulative twin sister--is a trial, though she can't help forming a bond with little Ivy, Jason's sickly daughter. But as tragedy strikes Moonglade, Mallory and Blaine will discover a darkness hidden within this deceptively beautiful world and their enigmatic circle--one that will either unite them at last, or tear apart the promise of paradise.If you've never read Margaret Way before, you're in for a treat --New York Times bestselling author Diana Palmer
Thornton Wilder (1897-1975) was an accomplished novelist and playwright whose works, exploring the connection between the commonplace and cosmic dimensions of human experience, continue to be read and produced around the world. His Bridge of San Luis Rey, one of seven novels, won the Pulitzer Prize in 1928, as did two of his four full-length dramas, Our Town (1938) and The Skin of Our Teeth (1943). Wilder's The Matchmaker was adapted as the musical Hello, Dolly!. He also enjoyed enormous success with many other forms of the written and spoken word, among them teaching, acting, the opera, and films. (His screenplay for Hitchcock's Shadow of Doubt [1943] remains a classic psycho-thriller to this day.) Wilder's many honors include the Gold Medal for Fiction from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and the National Book Committee's Medal for Literature.
