Mattie is on her way to Pinecraft, Florida to visit her
friend, Leona. Leona is
marrying her fiancé, Zack in a week and Mattie goes down
early to help her
with her wedding plans. Once she gets there, the girls
get caught up
finding a missing cat along with Zack and his best friend
Danny. Last time
she was there visiting, Mattie was attracted to Danny and
while she goes
back home, the two of them write to each other. As time
goes by, Mattie's
feelings grow for Danny but once she gets to Florida she
wonders if she is
imagining that Danny cares for her as well. You see,
Danny is sending
mixed signals and driving Mattie crazy trying to guess
what he is thinking.
While reading A WISH ON GARDENIA STREET I felt like I was
right there
in Pinecraft with the characters looking for Serena the
cat who is lost.
Shelley Shepard Gray has a way of bringing all of her
characters to life so
much so that you feel as if you are sitting there eating
pie and drinking
coffee with them. She creates characters that are very
real, funny, fragile,
and people you want to get to know better. Shelley Shepard
Gray has
written a moving story that will capture your heart.
Mattie gets her answers
from Danny but I'm not going to tell you what they are.
Trust me, you don't
want me to ruin the story for you.
Once I started reading A WISH ON GARDENIA STREET couldn't
put it
down. I was sad when the story ended, because I wanted to
remain
involved in the character's lives a little while longer.
Overall, It was the
perfect way to spend the afternoon. You will laugh, maybe
shed some
tears, be swept up in a growing romance, but most of all
you will be
fascinated with one very sweet Amish girl; a girl that
sure looks perfect and
ordinary to outsiders except sometimes the "simple life"
is not so simple
after all. I always love reading Ms. Gray's stories and
even though A WISH
ON GARDENIA STREET was a novella, it was long enough to
get me
hooked and wanting to read the rest of the Amish Brides
of Pinecraft
series.
Bestselling author Shelley Shepard Gray continues her
Amish
Brides of Pinecraft series with a special addition—a tale
of
wishing and wanting...and what the heart really needs
Good things may come to those who wait, but Mattie Miller
is
confident that great things come to those who go after
what
they want…and Mattie wants Danny Brenneman. Danny is the
reason she's returned to the sunny Amish community of
Pinecraft, Florida—well, that and to see her best friend
Leona
get married.
Mattie's met Danny only once before but she knows the
spark
between them is sure to lead to something special. Despite
a
missing cat, wedding day chaos, and Danny himself, she's
confident this vacation can only end one way: in an
engagement
of her very own!
