Wishing on Dandelions
By Mary E. DeMuth
$12.99
God says I Love You in many ways,
some of which are hard to hear.
Georgeanne Peach will ruin everything! At seventeen, Maranatha
Winningham admittedly has some trust issues—her mother abandoned
her, a neighbor boy abused her for years, her best friend has left
for college and God, ever since he spoke to her underneath the pecan
tree three years ago, has remained elusive. So when Miss Peach blows
in to take over the only place Natha’s ever called home, leaving a
trail of peach fabric swatches and cloying perfume, it’s easy to
understand how something like a little ol’ tornado might not be a
big deal. Like every teenager, Natha tries to sort out the confusing
layers of love—of friends, of family, of suitors, and desperately,
of God. Natha struggles to find herself before she gives into the
scared, shadow of a girl in this follow up to the praised
Watching the Tree Limbs.

This is a truly introspective story of a teenager whose
choices in life are influenced by having been raped when she
was a young girl. A white girl living in east Texas,
Maranatha finds her solace in her acceptance at Mt. Moriah
Church among the African-American congregation who loves her
as one of their own. From all outside appearances, her life
is an easy one–a good home, good friends, no real financial
problems; but she is plagued by her own guilt and shame
which makes all aspects of her life seem confusing and
difficult. This is an interesting journey into the emotions
and attitudes of an abuse victim who struggles to hear God’s
voice in how to live her life and a gripping story that
keeps you pulling for the main character from start to
finish.
