About this eBook

This book can be read as a complete standalone, as book 1 or as book 4 in the Wish novels. Intrigued...keep reading!

Growing up, I believed in infinite possibilities. I wished on stars and let my imagination prepare me for the unknown. The older you get the more you realize that you have power. You have been given the free will to control your own path. Jump into your destiny feet first. And I knew for certain that no matter how much power I had, time was a luxury that would never be mine.

Unlike my mother and father, who were happy to live out their days on a Native American reservation in Colorado, I wanted to explore, to experience the many splendors the world could provide…before it was too late.

I couldn’t avoid the siren’s call of the big, wide-open world.

What I didn’t know was my life would be filled with challenges, highs, and lows the likes I couldn’t have prepared for. I have many bittersweet memories and even more where the sweet outweighs the bitter. Despite it all, I wouldn’t change a thing.

My experiences, my choices, have led me to where I am. Helped form the woman I’ve become.

A wife.

A mother.

A woman at peace with her destiny.

My journey has been rife with uncertainty, joy, fear, love, hate, strife, sacrifice, and everything in between. I’ve experienced unbelievable pleasure and gut-wrenching pain. Some may despise me for the choices I’ve made. Some may applaud them. Either way, I lived for today.

My name is Catori…and this is my story.

Catori grew up on a Native American reservation in Colorado. True to the meaning of her name “free spirit”, she left the reservation at the age of 18 to explore the Earth. If Stars Were Wishes is a beautiful story of discovery, love, forgiveness, sacrifice and so much more. This book can be read as a stand-alone or a series and I love how Audrey wrapped up the series with Catori’s story.

I don't even know where to begin. It's been a few days since I finished Catori's story, and I still don't know how to put my feelings into words. After reading the stories of Catori's daughters I had an image of Catori that I wasn't sure I really liked. But this story, learning about Catori's background, changed everything! Do I agree with all of her choices...nope! But can I say with absolute certainty that if I was in her position I wouldn't have done the same things....nope! Catori has always had a desire to spread her wings and fly! To see everything of this world and have as many experiences as possible in the time that she's got. When she locks eyes with a stunning man named Adam while dancing with her dance troupe, her entire life changes. Their relationship is far from conventional, but for them it works. The love and trust that they have in each other is inspirational. I thank Audrey Carlan for sharing this amazing love story with us all. This story shows the absolute unending love that exists in all forms. Love between a man and a woman, and the all-powerful love of family.

The final book in the Wish Series and what a perfect journey to end this beautifully written series on. This is Catori Ross’s emotional story and it was a story I couldn’t wait to read because after reading her daughters journey I needed more, I needed to know the woman who has given up so much for her talented, exceptional daughters. Catori’s journey is emotional yet entertaining and it’s a journey I highly recommend you join. This can be read as a stand-alone but I think you would get more out of this book if you read the previous books first. This is a woman who life is adventurous and meaningful, she has a strong desire to live her life her way and no one will break her spirit. Her life may not be long but she made everyday special……. Ms Carlan has an amazing talent for drawing us in to her beautifully written stories, for making us feel every emotional as we join the often bumpy road to happiness. She gives us characters we are bond with and who stay with us long after the final words have been read. This book touched me on so many levels, I cried, I laughed and honestly I felt every emotion possible as joined this very special ladies journey. I haven’t had a book hangover like this in so long, so I thank you Ms Carlan for finishing this series with the woman who started it all Catari Ross!!!!
