Annalise's Wish - Paperback

Synopsis: A time will come when we will want nothing but answers to questions that burden us, which we cannot decipher. At such times, we leave ourselves at the mercy of fate and providence, without even having the faintest idea of how things will eventually turn out. Our total mortality, ingrained in our weakness, is exposed in such an instance. In Lucinda's situation, many issues around her had been resolved, dousing her frayed nerves, but she still had unanswered questions yet to be addressed.

"Annalise's Wish" is the final sequel to "Over the Distant Mountain Ranges." This book gives an in-depth explanation of Lucinda's and Annalise's birth circumstances. It tells the story of how women could go the extra mile to hold their bundle of joy and have someone call them "mother." Children bring color to a dull family. They light up the whole room with joy and happiness upon their arrival into this world.

The plot takes a different twist, introducing Jake, who is the son of the sun and will be Lucinda's mate, hoping that their marriage will resolve the conflict between the two worlds.
