I picked up Katie Ganshert's first novel, 'Wildflowers From Winter' last year because the synopsis sounded so good. I was so glad I did. This book, 'Wishing on Willows' picks up where 'Wildflowers' left off. It is incredibly moving and deep.
Robin Price lost her husband 4 years ago and still can't
A development company sends a representative into town to build condominiums that will definitely help the town's sagging economy. The problem is, Willow Tree will have to go in order to accomodate the build. Robin just can't let go of the dream she and Micah shared, no matter what. Even if the handsome Ian McKay disrupts her reasoning.
Katie Ganshert writes with such a depth of emotion that the reader actually feels the pain these characters are feeling. Seriously, I felt like I was there, my heart breaking along with theirs! How does she do it? Make these people so real you want to pray for them? God given talent is the only answer.
This book ministered to me during a very dark time in my own life. I had prayed about a situation, didn't know the answer, then I picked up the book to read more and there on the very page I was reading was my answer from God!!! Incredible. When I received that word, God gave me peace in my trouble.
This was an awesome book and I highly recommend it to everyone.

Wishing on Willows by Katie Ganshert is a heartwarming second novel for this new author.
Robin is a young, widowed mother struggling to keep her dream alive–a European-esque cafe in the small town of Peaks, Iowa. When a hot shot developed comes to town with the intention of tearing down her
Katie Ganshert provides an interesting tale of surrender and growth–in areas of love, loss, dreams, and the unknown future. The themes running through Wishing on Willows apply to everyone in one stage or another, and with the recent loss my family experienced, the idea of moving forward after grief struck me. Ganshert tackled the subject of life after loss, all in the midst of a heartwarming inspirational novel. The main characters are well established, with layered and varied character traits and flaws, although this hero might be just a little too perfect. And the cast of small-town eccentrics livened up the setting. While somewhat lengthy for the story, Ganshert’s writing is solid and enjoyable.
This heartwarming tale provides an easy read for a Saturday afternoon and an enjoyable escape to the fictional town of Peaks.

This book touches on many facts of life, moving on after losing a close family member. This is what Robin needs to do, but she is really struggling. Her Dad wants to move on, her Mom has been gone for 15 years, and she is having a hard time with his remarrying. I do see God working in all of their lives, they just need to trust. Also just when things seem to look bleak, they can get worse.
This is the second book in this series, and you do not need to read the first to enjoy this one. I would recommend you read it.

This book deserves three times the stars allowed here. I read Katie Ganshert's first book, Wildflowers From Winter, and it totally blew me away. She is so incredibly talented. This book, Wishing on Willows, carries on the story of one of the characters from the first book.
Robin Price is a young
A developer shows up on day with plans to build condos where Robin's cafe and a town ministry are located. Ian McKay is stubborn and handsome and is determined to accomplish his goal. He has strong reasons for wanting this deal to go through, but Ian also has ghosts in his own past and carries around a lot of hurt.
Robin is determined also to not lose her cafe. She can't seem to move on and feels if she lets go of the cafe she will lose what she had with her late husband. The town also has differing opinions about the condos, but they do need the revenue the condos will bring in to their small town.
Robin's grief is so real and palpable in this book and Katie Ganshert conveys that so incredibly well that I found myself actually wanting to pray for Robin! Seriously, Ganshert writes like no other when it comes to making the reader feel the characters' pain. I felt as if I knew these people they were so real.
I found myself wondering how someone like Robin could have so much hurt and pain in her life that she could even continue to breathe.
Katie Ganshert manages to portray so wonderfully well how our lives can turn out if we just allow God to direct them instead of trying to do things our own way. What pain we bring on ourself when we try to struggle on when our Heavenly Father wants to take the load from our shoulders.
Will Robin and Ian allow Christ to bring them to surrender to His will for their lives?
I am unable to adequately express how much I loved this book. The characters and the story remain with me still and I read this book months ago.

Robin Price is struggling. Her husband, Micah, died several years ago leaving her a son to raise and a gaping whole in her heart. She found some form of healing when her best friend, Bethany, helped her open Willow Tree Cafe`. It fulfilled a dream she and Micah shared. Though business isn't
Excellent, exceptional, emotional, encouraging, and entertaining, all come to mind when I think of Wishing on Willows. I read the whole thing in practically one sitting because I just couldn't put it down. The story was so complex in nature that it's difficult to define all the things I loved about it. The characters are so endearing and realistic. Easily relatable. The author writes in such a way that you feel every emotion of every character. To me, that's excellent writing. The message of hope rang loud and clear. Sometimes the Lord is fighting for you in a way you didn't ask for or expect. That's encouraging. I loved that Bethany and Evan were very much a part of this story. For me, that made this story exceptional. Though this story is loaded with deep emotions you will find splashes of humor right when you need them. I found that entertaining. My only wish, besides not wanting it to end, is that there would have been an epilogue. Does that mean there might be another story??? I would love to see more in this series because I have come to love Peaks and the Price family. As a side note, I would like to compliment the cover designers with how well they captured an important element of the story. Well done. Although you could technically read this as a stand-alone, I would encourage you to read Wildflowers in Winter first (also an excellent story). Wishing on Willows is on my favorites list and one I highly recommend, but be ready to have your emotions challenged! Katie Ganshert has definitely become one of my favorite authors. Great job, Katie!

Now a developer wants to build condos where the cafe` sits which means not only losing the cafe but an important ministry that's housed next door. Ian McKay is the project manager of the Peaks condo project. He wants to make his father proud by making this project successful for McKay Development. The town seems to be wooed by his good-looks and charm, all except Robin. Both are stubborn and passionate people. As the struggle ensues, Ian sees Robin's compassion and grace but he also sees her grief. And it moves him. Robin sees a side of Ian that gives her cause to ponder that there just might be more to the man than she first thought. Will Robin and Ian stubbornly hold onto the past, or will they find that their toughest challenge of letting go, will actually be their greatest blessing?Excellent, exceptional, emotional, encouraging, and entertaining, all come to mind when I think of Wishing on Willows.

“Look! I am making all things new!” Revelation 21:5 (NET)
Wishing on Willows, Katie Ganshert’s sophomore novel, is a testament to God’s grace and love in making all things new. A story of broken dreams and unfulfilled hopes becomes a story of beauty from ashes. If you like contemporary
Robin Price had dreams, dreams that included children, a home and running a cafe with her husband Micah. Now Micah is dead, and she is desperately trying to keep the dreams from slipping through her fingers. Ian McKay comes to town with his own losses and disappointments and dreams tucked away in the past. He is determined to prove to his father and his company that he still has what it takes to build what the small town of Peaks, Iowa needs for growth. But Robin and Ian’s wants, needs and desires are on a collision course. One of them will come out the winner, while the other will lose big.
Told in the third person with first person reminiscences by Robin breaking the action, Wishing on Willows is a quiet novel about ordinary people with an extraordinary God. Ganshert does a great job of exploring the tension between what has been and what could be by using the struggling small town of Peaks and its need for innovation and growth. The characters she creates are very real, and their hurts and efforts to protect themselves from new pain are ones a reader can well identify with. This is a novel of the wonder of God bringing grace from pain, joy from mourning and beauty from tears.
Recommended.

As I've mentioned before, Christian Romances generally aren't my cup of tea, author Katie Ganshert however, has once again made me change my opinion on this often overlooked genre.
In her second novel (and sequel to "Wildflowers from Winter") Ganshert does an excellent job of breathing life into her
This story takes place about four years after "Wildflowers from Winter" and features Robin as the main character tather than Bethany (although she is still in the story). For all those that never read the first book, never fear, this novel easily stands alone and explains things in enough detail that you're always in the know. Anyhow, Robin is struggling to keep her Willow Tree Cafe in business and to raise Caleb as a single mother (her husband Micah died in the first book). As if she didn't have enough on her plate, a developer comes into town and wants to buy her property to tear it down to build condiminiums. Not only would she lose her business, but "One Life" a charity organization, would lose theirs as well. She has to fight the charming developer, Ian McKay, with all she's got in order to save her passion and the well being of the town.
Overall, I found this to be a great read. It's believable and you start to root for the characters as you go along. You know it has to have a happy ending but it keeps you guessing til the very end as to how everything is going to turn out. It's a page turner about love and second chances and you won't want to miss out!

That ending! *wipes away tears* This was a beautiful story, but there were a few things that bugged me about it.
Once again, I was swept away by Ganshert's beautiful writing style. Just so beautiful! If I wrote books, this would be my writing style. It alone entices me to read the book, regardless
The characters were . . . interesting. This book was actually rather unusual in the regard that throughout much of the book, you didn't really *like* the MCs. Robin was rude, unkind, and stubborn, and Ian was cocky, annoying, and also stubborn. Yes, they had their redeeming qualities, but overall throughout much of the book, I really didn't like them. By the end of the book though, I really liked them and was very attached to them. Robin's son, in particular, was a fantastic character. Ganshert knows how to write child characters! They are so realistic in their words and actions.
The storyline over all bugged me in certain places, as I felt we were spinning circles. By the time I got to about 23 of the way through, my interest was completely captured, and I couldn't put it down! The last section was definitely the best, and I may or may not have cried in the last few chapters.
Not my new favorites books, but I definitely enjoyed it! Recommened for ages 16 for mild romance, grief,very brief and not described mentions of sex, (basically just the use of the word) and trying to get pregnant.
