Book 1: Dandelion Wishes

A heartwarming, small town romance about homecomings, the courage to forgive, the tested bonds of friendship, and the power of love.

What if dandelion wishes do come true?

If they did, Emma Willoughby would turn back the clock to a time before the car accident that nearly killed her best friend Tracy. Because ever since, Emma has been unsuccessfully trying to make amends to Tracy and her family. Once as close as sisters, now Tracy’s handsome, brooding, older brother Will blocks Emma from communicating with Tracy at every turn.

Would you wish for forgiveness? Or for love?

After learning Will and Tracy are in Harmony Valley, the trio’s sleepy hometown located at the northern edge of scenic Sonoma wine country, Emma returns to the house she grew up in – her grandmother’s small Victorian. But instead of a chance for reconciliation, Emma is drawn into the fight to preserve Harmony Valley’s charm, a struggle that once more pits her against Will, who wants to build a high end winery and change everything Emma loves about her hometown.

Increasingly, Emma’s path to forgiveness is complicated by outside influences and the resurgence of feelings she had for Will as a teenager, affection she once made a dandelion wish on. Can Emma forge a path of forgiveness and love? Or will she lose everything she loves and cherishes?

Fans of movies featuring characters dealing with difficult family situations will enjoy this heartfelt, emotional romance with a guaranteed happy ever after. Watch a YouTube introduction to Dandelion Wishes and the series HERE.
