Of course as a parent, my first wish is that my kids grow up healthy, happy and have a wonderful life. I also wish that my Mom will continue to heal ok after surgery and that there will be no more complications. I wish to meet someone someday, fall in love or even just a mutal companionship and have more children either by birth or adopting and foster care.
And I wish to review this book because I love Sharon's writing. Oh the Ballad of Frankie Silver. I have read it twice and will read it yet again.
Most of all I wish that no more men and women die because of foolish people.
Blessings.
Well, back to work for me. I think of Debbie as an inspiration.
Or at least a good book to provide a great adventure in the meantime.

Really, though I don't need 20 wishes, I just need one or you might consider this two. I wish for my abusive ex husband to leave my daughter and I alone. For him to give up his rights to the daughter that he has never seen, who wants nothing to do with him, and who he shouldn't have rights to after putting her in danger.
Best,
Barb
