Tender Wishes is a Rita Finalist for "Best First Book" of the year. This story is a romantic, funny tale that endears the readers to not only the story-line but a group of characters they will never forget. An adventurous, heartwarming classic that takes a pinch of mountain magic, a bit of mountain lore, a whole barrel of humor, and a big Missouri Moon to illuminate the path to Johnnie's and Adam's journey to trust and love.
