Publisher's Synopsis
Every now and then, you find a book that speaks to you. You don't always know why, yet you can't put it down.I Made a Wish And You Came True pulled me in and never let me out, writes one reader.This is a memoir about the experience of discovering true, deep and perhaps, irretrievable love at a young age.While many memoirs reflect on love as a primary theme, the unusual origin story of this particular love makesit more unique. The descriptive language is engaging and the emotions are visceral at times; the author'sability to capture the sensation of young fruitless love is, at times, agonizingly real.The memoir is based on a first love, an amazing boy who came into the author's life when she was much too young to understand true love. And yet he was, seemingly, her perfect match. Insecurities led her to abandon the boy which ultimately led her to search for a love to match the one she had with him. It, eventually wound up leading her into an abusive relationship with a high school boyfriend, one that almost destroyed her. Sadly, she allowed herself to be affected by the growing pains many of us suffer from during our ever-changing adolescent and teenage years. This story allows you to think back and perhaps relate to what the author went through. Whether you have experienced it first-hand or not- you can feel for her and for what she went through. I believe that through her journey, you will see yourself in her at times. She shares how all of her life experiences played an intricate part in the adult she is today. Robin Smith Fallone, an intuitive new author, walks you through the turmoil of loss and a winding road filled with bumps, twists, turns, and dead ends... leaving the reader wondering if life will ever lead to triumph.
