Katie Ganshert

Dear Readers,
Sometimes I am just looking for a gentle story.  It doesn’t really have any excitement or mystery to it.  It is just a good story that is fun to read and enjoy.  Wishing on Willows by Katie Ganshert was the perfect book for that mood.


It is Katie’s second book and you pick up the story line of Robin who you met for the first time in Wildflowers in Winter.  She is a secondary character in that book, this time you find out how she is doing after losing her husband and opening her own café all while trying to raise a 4 year old boy. 

Ian needs to prove to his father that he is not a complete failure.   His father’s development company is in trouble and the chance to build the condos in Peaks would save the company. 

I am not sure Katie set out to write a book that showed so clearly what it is like to lose a husband, but that is a picture you get from this book.  How much work it is, emotionally and physically.  How everything you would do requires an extra effort when you have a child.  

I love that there is more than one plot line going on. You know that Katie is setting up her next book and I am pretty sure of who it will be about, but that is what life is like.  There are things going on in everyone’s life even if we forget that sometimes.

This is a wonderful read for those quiet times, a chance to get away from it all and just enjoy.
Happy Reading
