Little Wishes
Book Feature - Little Wishes by Michelle Adams
HBL Note: If you’ve read a Michelle Adams novel, you probably associate her with page-turning thrillers. With Little Wishes, Michelle is trying something new…a novel filled with emotion that will pull on the heartstrings instead of making the heart race. The publicist I work with described it as a “tear-jerking, emotionally resonant novel.” So if you’re looking for something that will help you feel all the feels this holiday season, I found the book for you. Scroll down to read more about Little Wishes by Michelle Adams.
From the publisher:
On her favorite day of the year, Elizabeth Davenport awakens in her cottage on the wild and windy Cornish coast, opens her front door, and discovers a precious gift: the small blue crocus and a note that begins I Wish . . . They are not signed, but she knows they’ve been left by her first and truest love, Tom Hale. Each of these precious missives convey a simple wish for something they had missed, and the life they might have shared. She has kept them all.
But on this day, what should have been the fiftieth anniversary of their falling in love, the gift fails to arrive. Could something have happened to Tom? Elizabeth has always been plagued by thoughts of “what if?”. Propelled by worry and decades of pent up longing, Elizabeth packs a little suitcase, leaves Porthsennenon, and journeys to London . . . to find the love of her life once again, years after circumstances forced them apart.
Finding him, Elizabeth is faced with the desperate knowledge that any time they might have now is running out. Never before had she thought that she might truly lose time—forever. And now, knowing that life is too short, Elizabeth vows to fulfill as many of Tom’s wishes as she can. Yet she fears that her efforts may expose the shameful secret that, until now, has kept them apart.
Can she continue to hide the truth, or will she have the courage to reveal herself completely and finally make their dreams come true—before it’s too late?
