The Wish and Other Short Stories
About
A small collection of fictional short stories. Each tale is a story that has more to it than meets the eye, nothing is what seems. In each, a young lady must look deeper into herself and ask if she is brave enough, strong enough or hopeful enough to push past fears and doubts to achieve her desires.
Story One- A young girl stays into the perfect pasture. The fields are filled with flowers and beauty. An aching desire and hope create a wish on a dandelion. Those hopes lift to sky with each white head. Will her deepest desire be heard?
Story Two- A young lady faces the dark forest alone to find her father. Under the full moon she knows she is hunted, yet she presses on. Fear or love, which will prevail? Or will she meet her end under the moon lit sky?
Story Three-The dark form of a woman sits on a gravestone. She had long lost her sense of self, but something pulled her back to her ancient home. Cursed, Ina forces herself to recall her memories of a painful past to find her purpose.
Praise for this book
I’ve never read a book by an author I know before. It was like I got a little peek into her soul. She reminds me a bit of W.W. Jacobs with his short stories. The stories were a little dark, grasping at hope, and then embracing the truth they live. Her descriptive writing made me feel like I was IN the story, allowing my imagination to feel what distress or joy the character experienced.
