The Wishing Well

By
Kai Strand


The title of this book, The Wishing Well, is only a small part of what this story portrays, but also the wishing well plays an important event in solving the hurts for more than one family member.  Molly, who is the youngest in the Minstrel family, is treated with undying disrespect.  Her heart is big, and ferociously giving.  The story intertwines with the events of an ill willed, uncompromising mother, along with sisters who lend, and understand little. Molly’s daily sufferings go unnoticed.  Her only refuge is her best friend, who makes her life worth living.

The book weaves words of yarn in and out of each situation.  Molly’s wish to have a family that loves her seems insolvable, until she meets an unwanted being who weaves the change of events into a raging state of emotion.  This is an impeccably written book with stunning emotion that will take you in, and place you there.  You’ll find yourself wanting to reach out and help Molly. 

I have to say I loved reading this book, and since the limit is 5 stars; I will have to give it 6. ******
The Cover art  for The Wishing Well was illustrated by the award winning  artist; K.C. Snider.
