Do you ever find yourself so wrapped up in a book that you
do not want it to end? That is how I
felt with Katie Ganshert’s sequel to Wildflowers
from Winter. Wishing on Willows drew
me in from the beginning. Robin Price
lives in the small town of Peaks, Iowa.
She is a widow and a mother to her three- year-old son named Caleb. After the passing of her husband, Robin
decides to open a café with some convincing from her friend Bethany. The opening of a café was a dream that Robin
and her late husband, Micah, shared. Life
was moving along just fine until Ian McKay shows up. Ian is a developer and his goal is to build
condos in the very building where Robin operates her café. Robin loves her small town and is determined
to fight with everything she has in order to keep her café and the ministry next
store open.
Conflict arises when Robin finds herself attracted to Ian
and experiencing feelings that have been buried for so long. How can she have feelings for another man and
especially a man who is trying to close her café? Ian is in Iowa to do his job and close this
deal. Trying to earn his father’s
approval means the world to him and he knows this deal is important for the family
business. Ian is also holding onto hurts
from his past. Will past hurts bring Ian
and Robin to a place of common ground? Will
they be able to let go of the past and embrace the future that God has for
their lives?
I was so caught up in this story that I was disappointed
when it ended. I found myself wanting to
know more about what the future holds for these characters. Unfortunately, this is only a two part
series. I thought Katie did a wonderful
job with developing the characters.
Although I have not experienced the same type of hurt that these
characters have I found myself relating to the many of the lessons they learned
along the way. I would definitely recommend
this book and look forward to reading more books from this author.
