If you had one wish. . .
Maggie hadn’t told this story in years. She was sixteen and far from home, waiting to give her baby up for adoption. Then she fell in love. Bryce showed Maggie how to take photographs and he didn’t judge for her swollen belly. Theirs was a once-in-a-lifetime kind of love.
Now, as Maggie sits by the Christmas tree in her gallery, surrounded by the photographs that made her famous the photographs Bryce never saw her new assistant asks her if she had one wish, what would she wish for?
Maggie always thought she knew her answer. But before she can say I’d go back to that winter with Bryce, she stops herself. There is something else she wants, she wants to find her baby.
. . . What would you wish for?
MY REVIEW
I have read many books by Nicholas Sparks who is one of my favourite authors. So when I see this book in the my favourite book shop I bought it instantly as Nicholas Sparks books honestly never fail me.
In The Wish Maggie’s story really tugs at the heart, with her finding out that she is pregnant at just fifteen.
The Wish is a heart-wrenching story about discovery and loss, it’s a reminder that time with those precious to us is the greatest gift of all.
An extract from the scene where Maggie finds out she is pregnant.
MAROONED
Ocracoke 1995
Actually when I’m being honest, my secret life really began when I was fifteen and my mom found me on the bathroom floor, green in the gills, with my arms wrapped around the toilet bowl. I’d been barfing every morning for the past week and a half, and my mom, more knowledgeable about such things than I was, raced to the drugstore and made me pee on a stick as soon as she got home. When the blue plus sign appeared, she stared at the stick for a long time without saying a single word, then retreated to the kitchen, where she cried on and off for the rest of the day.
