What if the flight over or back is unsuccessful; what if the “safest mode of travel” wipes out four members of her family? Gramma knew what her own grandmother would have done and she followed those examples most of her life. Setting fears aside and facing the unknown, she leads three boys to adventure and discovery across the country.
Colby’s writing is the catalyst for the trip but he is too young to travel alone. His grandmother, older brother Ryan, and cousin Dylan join him on the trek to New York City and upstate New York. The laid back, lifetime residents of the Pacific Northwest find contrast, excitement, storms and emotional growth in their adventures. If My Wishes Were Horses follows the four family members through the extremes of devastation, romance, sorrow, intrigue, humility, emotional maturity and joy.
A quiet fiction setting containing memoir stories, If My Wishes Were Horses captures the spirit, hope, faith and humor of one family. This is not a memoir of a famous person, but the tale of an ordinary family meeting extraordinary circumstances and facing them. The story takes place in present day, with the memoir told as memories of the past.
