Twenty Wishes: A Blossom Street Book

I really enjoyed this gentle, beautifully paced novel -- well, so much so, I went back and listened again.

What would you write down if you had twenty wishes? It's quite a question and, as the book suggests, not easy to do.

A group of widows decide to approach life positively and meet regularly to support each other as they devise and follow through their own twenty wishes.

This book gives heart to both the young and the old -- there's romance, laughter and family love. The characters are vibrant and the details of every day home life are familiar and reassuring. Yes, I'll use the well worn phrase, 'heart warming'.

I recommend this book as a rewarding listen in itself -- and as always, Tanya Eby Sirois' reading is excellent -- but also could be helpful for anyone who doesn't quite know how to proceed with life -- the main point is that by just taking on new dreams, other life doors were opened.

Again Debbie has done it, I love to hear about all of the local areas and the women come alife again.

If you have read the previous books in the series then listen to this one. If you are slightly older then read it - probably for those in their 40's onwards. If you are looking for something different than gentle loving relationships and bonds between friends and family, forget it.

Pathetic, insipid and silly. High school reading.

Terrible. Dumb story, bad recording, an overall stinker! I'm glad I got it on special for $4.95 or I would be really unhappy.

This was a big disappointment! Couldn't even finish it.......very boring and predictable.....wish I had read the other reviews first and saved my money.

very nice story - made me even think about what my 20 wishes should be. this is a girls book & yes it may be predictable but a very nice read.

What a lovely story. I really enjoyed the uplifting nature of the book. This book was a pleasure to read, and inspires the reader to take their own happiness into thier own hands. I would reccomend this book highly!

This author does great job of developing the characters and their situations but the plot and ending were too predictable.

Yaaaawwwn ... excuse me that was a great book to nap by.

I would add a wish to the main character list ... I wish I did not buy this audio. I did finish it only because I paid for it thankfully it was on sale.

The story was extremely mundane and uneventfully, it will be the first and only book I buy by this author.
