On My Wish List is a fun weekly event hosted by Workaday Reads and runs every Saturday. It's where we list all the books we desperately want but haven't actually bought yet. They can be old, new or forthcoming.
Synopsis:
Rachel Berman wants everything to be perfect. An overprotective single mother of two, she is acutely aware of the statistical dangers lurking around every corner--which makes her snap decision to aid a stranded motorist wholly uncharacteristic. Len Bean is stuck on the shoulder with Olivia, his relentlessly curious, learning disabled ten-year-old daughter. To the chagrin of Rachel's children, who are about to be linked to the most-mocked girl in school, Rachel and Len begin dating. And when Len receives terrible news, little Olivia needs a hero more than ever.
But the world refuses to be predictable. When personal crisis profoundly alters Rachel's relationship with a wild, very special little girl, this perfectionist mother finds herself drawn into a mystery from her past and toward a new appreciation for her own children's imperfect lives.

I recently had this book recommended to me by the very lovely and hilarious Lauren Baratz-Logsted. If she recommends it, I'm gonna read it. While I haven't read any of Tish's books before, I have had a copy of one on my shelf for quite some time. So hopefully I can get my hands on this one too and then have a little marathon :)
What about you? What are you wishing for this wee? Leave me a link in the comments and I'll come check it out!
I love the cover. It is so perfectly captures a child's innocence and silliness.
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of the book and I'm not much into this kind of genre but it seems good. Nice cover!
