Book Reviews of The Wishing Garden

Book Review: A moving tale about love of family
Summary: 5 Stars

For the first time in six years, Savannah accompanied by Emma return to Arizona to visit her dad Doug. At her parents' Prescott home, she meets Jake Grey, who is building a special bench in Doug's garden. As she struggles with her nasty daughter, her mean-spirited mother, and her cancer-wracked father, Savannah finds solace with Jake. However, Jake has secrets that make a lasting relationship seem unlikely.

THE WISHING GARDEN is a fantastic relationship drama. The story line is loaded with poignancy as the readers see inside the soul of several charcaters. None of the cast is perfect or totally villainous though at first glance the audience might categorize Maggie as such. In actuality, she resents her tossing away her ambitions to support Doug's choices. Even Savannah's ex is fully supportive of her taking her daughter to Arizona. Though none of the characters except perhaps Jake resemble anything likable, all of them seem real and their interplay, including that of the oldest canine, seems spiteful but genuine. Christy Yorke has written a deep character study that will provide much enjoyment to sub-genre fans.
