Welcome back to Liberty, Ohio where the heartwarming stories of love, friendship and family life unfold in unexpected ways. Q & A with the Author For readers new to the Liberty Series, please give us some background. The Liberty Series are clean romance kindle books that blend humorous moments with scenes that'll bring a tear to your eye. I think of the books as relationship novels centered on inspiring stories about the extraordinary events in ordinary lives. The stories take place in a fictional small town that celebrates family life and old-fashioned values. Each book is a stand-alone novel: I don't leave readers with frustrating cliffhangers! What will readers discover in Four Wishes, the fourth book in the series? In some ways, Four Wishes is a coming of age novel for a character new to the series, Glade Wilson. Glade is searching for a second chance at putting her life on the right track -- she's dealing with a teenage pregnancy when she first arrives on Meade William's doorstep. Meade is the sister of the main character in Treasure Me, the first book in the series. Meade is wealthy, successful and approaching middle age with the sense that all the outward trappings of a good life aren't enough. Secretly she'd like to find love but, like many mature adults, she's become the caretaker for an ailing parent. Her father Landon suffers from depression and grief stemming from mistakes made earlier in his life. Their relationship provides many of the novel's more poignant moments. Dr. Mary Chance also plays a major role in Four Wishes. Do you think her reappearance will surprise readers? I certainly hope so! In Second Chance Grill, Mary is the doctor that finds love with Liberty's single father, Anthony Perini. In Four Wishes, her story revolves around the parenting-career decisions the newly married couple now faces. As Liberty's only doctor, Mary isn't sure the time is right to have a baby. She's happy parenting Blossom, Anthony's precocious daughter -- but Blossom is on a mission to become the big sister of a new bundle of joy. The subplot, “Should Mary have a baby?” provides Four Wishes with touches of comedy and a bittersweet look at family life. What role does Birdie play in Four Wishes? Readers will see her relationship with Meade develop in unexpected ways. The two sisters couldn't be more dissimilar, but their mutual love for their father will bring them closer together.
