High School teacher Troy falls for champion figure skater Grace, whose mother has ALS. Until I joined NetGalley I had never read any books by Robyn Carr. Thank you NetGalley. I did not know what I was missing. She is fast becoming a favorite of mine. The range of emotions displayed is her novels is what draws a reader in. One Wish is just one of her many great books. I was gifted this book for an honest review. Grace was a championship figure skater, until she escaped that world and became a flower shop owner, estranging herself from her stage mother. She meets HS teach Troy, who appoints himself her fun coach, since she never learned social skills on the competition circuit. But when her mother develops ALS, Grace, with Troy's help, reconciles with her and starts to work on a plan to move her to Thunder Bay. One Wish by Robyn Carr Thunder Point #7 3-1/2* Grace Dillon is a fairly recent transplant to Thunder Point. She bought the little flower shop which had been owned by her best friend, Iris', family. She has known local high school teacher, Troy Headly, just as long. He used to date Iris and is still nursing his broken heart after her recent marriage. As they were both close to Iris, who is now in the honeymoon phase, they hang out together more as friends. When their friendship started to turn into something more, I wasn't overly impressed with Troy. He was being a bit of a dog and pushing Grace for a physical relationship even though he kept mentioning that they were "just friends". I do give him credit, however, for being patient with her once he learned she was inexperienced and wanted to make sure she was ready to take the next step. It took her a while to be honest with him about her past. She was, in effect, trying to start a new life in Thunder Point, a quieter life. The two of them had been estranged for close to five years when suddenly Winnie came back into her daughter's life, pushy as ever, but this time with some life-altering news. Between Grace's challenges and a newcomer to town, Ginger, who is trying to survive day by day after losing her baby to crib death, there is a lot of angst in this one. no reviews | add a review
