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
