About the Book
A wish is a living thing that when carefully tended just might grow into a lifelong friendship. This is a story about a young boy Colby who desperately wishes for a dog of his own. He’s shocked when his Momma suggests he plant his wish in the garden if he wants to see it come true. After careful tending he’s surprised to see a wish tree growing where he planted his wish and a new puppy Riley run into his life, who quickly becomes his best friend. As we watch Colby and Riley grow up and their friendship strengthen through time, the wish tree continues to grow through all stages of the two friends’ lives. But the day comes when Colby must say goodbye to his old lifelong friend Riley. When one day Colby’s daughter wishes for her own puppy, Colby suggests she too plant her wish in the Wishing Garden. The circle of life completes itself and wishes continue to come true as the Wishing Garden blooms for another season.
About the Author
I am an avid reader and a dreamer who believes dreams really do come true. The majority of my adult life has been devoted to the love of my dogs, who have been my faithful companions and best friends. I have worked with several rescue organizations and fostered numerous dogs until they found their furever homes. The idea for The Wishing Garden came to me in a dream as I was facing the last days with my emotional support pug Finneus. Within a six month time frame he and both our female senior pugs had crossed the Rainbow Bridge and I knew this book had to become a reality. I live in Albemarle, North Carolina with my husband and my dearest canine campions Presley, a pug/min pin mix rescue, and her 3 pug brothers Tupelo, Oliver and Bongino Gutfeld! the boss of the house. This book is dedicated to the many dogs who have left paw prints on my heart.
The Wishing Garden will be available through Amazon and all major book and e-book distributors.
