Читать книгу Harper's Wish - Cerella Sechrist - Страница 4

Dear Reader,

Recently, my eight-year-old niece and I were at Disney World, watching the fireworks for the Magic Kingdom’s nighttime show, Wishes. As the production began, with beloved characters expressing their hearts’ desires, Emily kept tugging my arm, wanting to know when she should make her wish. I reassured her that the opportunity wouldn’t pass her by, but she made me promise to let her know when she should cast her wish for the maximum benefit. I waited until the finale, the moment after the Blue Fairy encouraged us to always believe in wishes, before a final cavalcade of fireworks bloomed across the evening sky, and then leaned down to whisper, “Now.”

Whether they’re cast upon a star or held tightly in the palm of your hand, wishes are a powerful thing, made even more complex when they collide. Sometimes, we’re forced to sacrifice one wish for another. This is a conflict Harper knows all too well as she grapples to see her wish come true...and risks losing a love she didn’t see coming.

Harper’s Wish is the first book in my Findlay Roads series, focusing on the residents of a small community beside the waters of the Chesapeake Bay. To learn more about this fictional town and its characters, visit www.cerellasechrist.com.
