The Wishing Tree: A Novel (A Sunset Beach Novel)

Savvy, determined Ivy Marshall discovers that her husband has cheated on her on the very same day her sister’s perfect boyfriend proposes on national television. Can she hold it together while she plans the wedding?

When Ivy’s mother asks her to return to her family’s beach home to plan her sister’s upcoming wedding, she decides to use the excuse to escape from the pain of her broken heart.

When her return to Sunset Beach, North Carolina, she begins to question her choice to marry her husband Elliot, rather than her childhood sweetheart (and jilted ex-fiancé) Michael. However, when Ivy refuses to talk to her estranged husband, he resorts to tweeting to her, expressing his remorse and making it clear he doesn’t want to give up on their marriage. Her friends seem to be on Elliot’s side, pressuring her to forgive him and move on. But how can she?

As she helps prepare the wishing tree for her sister’s wedding, she must examine her dreams for her own future and what true love should be.
