Read 2 times. Last read January 20, 2022 to March 15, 2022.
Innocence and Wilderness (Group Read - January 2020 - 2 books)
Second read - January 2020
A second read shows me how/why “Fogs & Clears� are no longer needed.
Addison & Gwyneth are hated, trapped by “Fogs� not protected by “Clears�.
Finally, when roads are closed by Homeland Security keeping “Bad Men� to flee calling it a “plague�. Bailey (Gwyneth’s dad) helps their seclusion in a wooded cabin. Where the wolves appear as just dogs, they help turn a Jeep of men threaten them away from an escape. Other people that escaped, are protected by other’s control & death too. The “Fogs & Clears� are not needed.
First read - December 2013
The book opens with Addison Goodhart (a.k.a. "I" in the book) hiding in NY tunnels for over six years. He meets Gwyneth in the library stacks, while she is attacked & Addison her escape hide/run together.
Addison (26) and Gyneth (18) had both been in NY for 18 years. He was 8 in “Wilderness� book.
Some story flow is bad with how the book’s logic jumps from present & past memories. Dad explains what “Fogs & Clears� mean. The "Fog" (Evil) attacks a Bad man, Ryan Telford, while attacking Gwyneth at the library, the "Clear" protects them.
The book is good as there are not many characters to follow.

Quotes Fred Liked
“To live in the city of crowds and traffic and constant noise, to be always striving, to be in the ceaseless competition for money and status and power, perhaps distracted the mind until it could no longer see—and forgot—the all that is. Or maybe, because of the pace and pressure of that life, sanity depended on blinding oneself to the manifold miracles, astonishments, wonders, and enigmas that comprised the true world.”

“To believe in luck, you must believe that the universe is a roulette wheel and that instead of paying out to us what we have earned, it pays out only what it wishes. But it is not a spinning wheel of chance, it is a work of art, complete and framed by eternity.”
