5 Stars
Full of romance and adventure!
One never knows the twists and turns life takes, and
certainly Max Laundry is on a bumpy ride. After witnessing a murder in a Texas
coalmine, he runs away only to discover the McGinnis farm. Will the kindness of
strangers give Max the strength he needs to go forward?
Max meets Annie McGinnis, a young, impressionable girl torn
between her dreams and her family's hard working, honest-to-the-bone ethic.
Annie yearns for something more out of life, but is uncertain which way to go.
When Max is accused of murder, Annie and her brother, Clifford, help to defend
his innocence. This incident puts events in motion that will define Max and
Annie's future paths.
Yeary pens a slow-burn, sweet, western romance full of angst
and tenderness. The novel is set in Texas, 1901. Yeary's portrayal of the west
is real and honest, depicting the hardships many settlers endured.
Yeary's rich characterization is the best part of the novel.
Max isn't perfect. Along with Annie, they both make honest mistakes and
"safe" choices, yet it's the promise of the unsafe choice that
lingers with them. Dare they forge their futures uncertain of what lies ahead?
These are issues modern readers can connect with and take to heart.
This is a sweet romance novel with Max and Annie sharing no
more than a kiss or two, yet it's the emotional content that makes their
romance feel just right. "Wish for the Moon," is a great heartwarming
story. I highly recommend this book.
