Twenty Wishes
At thirty-eight, Anne Marie Roche is childless, a recent widow, alone.
She owns a successful bookstore on Seattle's Blossom Street, but despite
her accomplishments, she struggles to find happiness. With several of
her friends, she makes a list of twenty wishes: things she always wanted
to do but never did.
When Anne Marie volunteers at a local school, a little girl named Ellen
enters her life. It's a relationship that becomes far more
involving--and far more important--than Anne Marie had ever imagined. As
Ellen helps Anne Marie complete her list, they both learn that wishes
can come true...but not necessarily in the way you expect!
The Twenty-First Wish
Anne Marie and Ellen both wanted to learn to knit. Like many of their
wishes, they made this come true, and now they knit practically every
day. But Ellen has quietly added a twenty-first wish to her list: that
Anne Marie will fall in love with Tim, Ellen's birth father, who has
recently entered their lives...
