I awarded 5 Stars to Janice (J.E.) Spina for ‘Wishes’. I loved this short story collection. This book will cause you to be more mindful when making a wish. Each short story gave me the opportunity to reflect on life, friendships, relationships, the world around us and the supernatural. Let me share my impressions:
THE HOMESTEAD: After 30 + years, Calvin and Amelia had earned the right to retire. They longed to leave the big city and find a peaceful place to live out their lives in safety on a land they could call their own. They didn’t expect this!
A TEEN’S LIFE: Marcus was on a downward spiral. His life, his school, and saw no hope for his future. Everything would change when he met Zeus. A wish can be granted in the strangest of ways.
THE MAGICAL PEBBLE: Shiloh was the oldest at sixteen. Her twin brothers were ten and her sister was eight. Circumstances had forced Shiloh to become the sole bread winner of the family. One day, while walking to work, a pebble got lodged in a hole in one of her worn-out shoes. Sometimes hardship can spring with unexpected blessings.
ONE MORE CHANCE: Gregory had been in the Army and served in Afghanistan. Homeless, dirty, and bedraggled, he secretly wondered if someone would give him one more chance. Sometimes things happen in life that can’t be explained but they give you the chance to begin again.
THE ROAD TO NOWHERE: Newlyweds, Roman and Meara left their unexpected, broken-down car and started walking. The more they walked, the more things changed. This is what they had always wished for – an adventure before beginning a life together. They promised to be together always no matter what happened. They never expected this!
ONE MISTAKE: Hope had to put her big news on the back burner as she and her mother spent the rest of the afternoon preparing for her sister Esme’s surprise birthday party. Esme was staying at her best friend’s house until her mother called and told her to come home. An unexpected call changed the course of their day. Sometimes we make one mistake in life that can change everything!
This is Janice (J.E.) Spina’s 50th book. She has published two mystery series of six books each, one for boys and the other for girls which is enjoyed by both boys and girls, and a fantasy series for young adults. She has published twenty-three stories for young children. I encourage you to purchase Janice Spina’s books for Young Adults (18 and Up), teens and children of all ages.
