Deep in a forest glade, the fey folk dance with a young human child. Their kinship is the fabric of Isidore's childhood. But when her mother dies and her world darkens with sorrow, Isidore finds her belief in the fey folk wavering. The love of her new step-sister, Blessing, proves an unexpected gift in her time of need. Yet even as their friendship blooms, Isidore begins to see that Blessing is everything she herself has always wanted to be, but is not. Jealousy grips Isidore as she watches this beautiful new sister steal away all she holds dear. Driven to desperation, Isidore turns to the fey folk once more. She has only one wish to claim from them, one chance to make things right. But she must tread carefully. For wishes, like hearts, are easily broken. And obtaining the one thing she desires could mean destroying the one thing she truly needs. No library descriptions found. |

A Wish Made of Glass is a beautifully told story of a young girl coming of age by Christian Fantasy writer Ashlee Willis
A Wish Made of Glass draws you into the fairy-tale like atmosphere and the magic of the fey folk as they danced with young Isidore. This story surrounds you in her world as we follow Isidore as she is learning to deal with loss and change. Just as she dances with the fey of her childhood in a place somewhere between this world and theirs, they keep watch and try to guide her throughout her life.
She is not the dainty damsel in distress but a normal and quite flawed human girl.
The introduction of her step sister Blessing (a true fairytale beauty) and her step mother give us a true glimpse of young Isidore's personality.
Throughout the story, Isidore is burdened by the choice of right and wrong and the consequences of such choices. She is brooding, contemptuous, acting out in jealousy and at times selfishly casting away the beautiful light that could be her life for shadows instead.
The storytelling is unexpectedly poignant and beautiful. It will stay with you long after you have finished the last word.
I give this novella 5 stars ( )
