Publisher's summary

Robin Alexander cooks up another tale using her favorite recipe - love, family, and a healthy dose of humor.

Dana Castilaw grew up tossing coins in a well, hoping her wishes would come true, but the candy fountain, puppy, and love never seemed to manifest. At 18, she left her hometown of Barbier Point, Louisiana, longing to be free of her father's chokehold on her life and with a heart full of dreams she hoped would come true. Years later, she is forced to return home with at least one granted wish - her daughter, Sydney.

Alex Soileau stood at Dana's side for years tossing her coins into the well, making the same wish each time, a secret plea that she refused to reveal even to her best friend. Time and maturity insisted that she give up on her one fervent desire, but her heart never would.

Reunited as adults, both women realize that maybe there was magic in the well after all.

Great humor!

I loved the book and the humor of the characters. Make me laugh out loud several times!

Wishes can come true.

You can’t help but laugh out loud when listening to one of Robin’s stories. Alex has been pining for Dana since childhood. Dana is trying to rebuild her life and relationship with her father. You can always find outrageous family members in Robin’s stories and they really add to the wonderful story. Lori Prince is an excellent choice to narrate. She has some unique voices that are so perfect for the characters. This is a wonderful friends to forever story.

A must

Always pair up Robin Alexander and Lori Prince!!! The narrator knows how to deliver humor, tears and bring these characters to life!! And Robin Alexander sarcasm and humor is out of this world. Haven’t read or heard a book from her I haven’t loved. Another winner!!

HILARIOUS!!!!!

MawMaw stole every scene!!! The dialogue as written is hilarious, and Lori Prince's performance had me bent over in stitches -- AT WORK!!!!! I have deep roots in and around New Iberia, LA, and I never felt insulted or that the accents were over-the-top. A delightful story with distinct, memorable characters and voices. Alexander did a marvelous job keeping the story realistic. Age is a factor!!! lol

Lol funny

Really good book and Lori Prince did such a good job with Thelma. I did laugh out loud more than once and especially when Thelma was performing one of her soliloquies. Don’t listen after you’ve been drinking a lot of water or you might not make it. The story came across as realistic and sweet.

Narrator too loud.

Narrator so loud at times it literally made me jump and hurt my ears. Took away from enjoyment of book. Mainly as Thelma character.

Great book

Funny, laughed and laughed. Thelma is my favorite character. enjoyed the read, you will too!

This author can write!

I do not know why I take so long to read a Robin Alexander novel! I think it’s because I don’t want to finish and be without! I have not been disappointed with any of her stories and no other writer had made me laugh out loud all through the book! Great writing, great rapport between characters and Lori Prince has perfect timing in the delivery of the many stories within the story! It just makes you smile to read her books and I hope to see many more!

Smiling
