Wishing on Willows

Wishing on Willows is a fantastic novel written by Katie Ganshert and is also the sequel to the novel Wildflowers from Winter (which for the record is definitely on my list of  books I must read!)

I would like to start this storytime by saying, PLEASE don't do this backwards like I did!!!  If you read this post and are interested read some reviews on Wildflowers from winter so that you can read them in order!!! Ok now onto the review of the book I did read!

Wishing On Willows is about a young mother of a 3 year old boy who runs and owns her own cafe in a small town, Peaks.  Her name is Robin Price and you learn all too fast that her cafe is struggling and it turns out she is a widow and trying to make ends meet, keep her business afloat and raise her 3 year old to the best of her ability.  She has her sister-in-law living with her and she helps out when she can with both her nephew and Robins cafe.  Her best friend is also married to her brother-in-law and lives close by on a farm.

They talk about the cafe a lot and Robin keeping it afloat and then out of nowhere a hotshot business man shows up from the city and is trying to get her to sell or shut her down so they can build condos for the upcoming factory workers.  Long story short  as if Robin didn't have enough on her plate but, now she is trying to save her cafe (which I need to mention became a dream of her and her husbands when they were on their honeymoon) and now she has a whole new set of worries to keep her up at night.  This story will make you laugh and cry it is about the depth of friendship, love, fear,  relationships, mourning, moving on and being strong.  You get to see all the aspects of what she is going through and how she is growing throughout the story.

The storyline is following the major events of Ian (he is the city developer), Amanda (Robin's sister-in-law)  and Robin and it tells you about the trials they have been through and how those trials had made them act the way they do.

I hate to write too much because it is such a great story about how to overcome the trials in your life and keeping faith even if you have nothing else.   I would just like y'all to keep in mind how wonderful I thought the book was and that I am definitely going to read Wildflowers From Winter also!
