The Wellwishers Study Guide

The Wellwishers

The Wellwishers by Richard Fountain

Gideon and Reyes try to comfort a dying Doctor Sossoman. In her last moments, she painfully reveals that she is a wellwisher and knows precisely what the girls are going through. Born in Austria, she had a twin sister named Adalia. During World War II, they were prisoners of the Third Reich, and much of Hitler’s success, she claims, came as a result of what they wished for. Sossoman is remoresful for the lives lost because of them. Then, she explains how when they were eight, they were rescued by the allies, but it was too late. Her sister was tired of wellwishing. She was found dead one morning, her spirit broken from the strain. Before Sossoman passes, she charges Gideon to save the girls, pleading with him to find a way for them to live a normal life.
