As you read this book, you will get intimate glimpses that span almost 100 years of trauma and triumphs in the lives of a strangely blended, small town Southern family. Each Chapter reads like an essay or short story, keeping you involved but wondering. Have Your Wishes Ready transports you to Africa, France and across the continental United States as it picks up and deposits one Southern Family's baggage along the route. Author Jennie Trudor allows the reader to get lost in this epic tale, hoping that mangle will become magic, mythical will become mystical, and that winsomeness will become wisdom.
