The Last Wish (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798223879558)

Russell Reed is a widower with a seventeen year old son, Adam. His wife, Lynn, died last summer after a long battle with cancer. The Reed family vacationed at their beach house on Jekyll Island every summer. That is, until last summer, when the emptiness was too much. Now, with Russell struggling at work and Adam barely holding it together, maybe the one thing they have been avoiding is the one place they might start to heal.

Adam sees the girl next door, Mandy, who is now all grown up. She is no longer the little girl with pony tails and braces. Russell must contact the elderly neighbor's daughter, Iris, after she falls. When Iris arrives, she may just be his safe return to love. When Adam finds out his father is thinking about selling the beach house, he takes matters into his own hands. Adam's act of defiance turns into a life saving mission of Iris and her mother, Fern. Adam finds his mother's old journal and now believes that the beach house is exactly where they need to be.

The Last Wish is a story of loss and love. Follow Russell and Adam as they maneuver the emotional path of finding a reason for happiness.
