"I was delighted to spend time with the denizens of Hamlet, a town that changes slowly but is all the more endearing for it. Likewise, as the characters in this book realize they have become stuck in their ways and must force themselves to find new adventures, I couldn't help but be touched by how they approached their problems. Gertsch is a born storyteller and the tales within this book have charm to spare."

Five Wishes takes place in Hamlet, a New England town. Delbert MacInnes is content to live where he was born and raised. "I'll look out another window if I want a different view," he says. Matilda MacInnes isn't the complaining type; she wants her family to believe she's happy with her life, but for decades she's hidden a big secret, and it wants out! When an unexpected event happens, Matilda discovers-though she is no longer young-that wishes can still come true.
