The Orphan's Wish by Melanie Dickerson--TLC Tours

From New York Times bestselling author Melanie Dickerson comes an inspired retelling of the beloved folk tale Aladdin.
Orphaned and alone, Aladdin travels from the streets of his Arab homeland to a strange, faraway place. Growing up in an orphanage, he meets young Lady Kirstyn, whose father is the powerful Duke of Hagenheim. Despite the difference in their stations, Aladdin quickly becomes Kirstyn’s favorite companion, and their childhood friendship grows into a bond that time and opposition cannot break.
Even as a child, Aladdin works hard, learning all he can from his teachers. Through his integrity, intelligence, and sheer tenacity, he earns a position serving as the duke’s steward. But that isn’t enough to erase the shame of being forced to steal as a small child—or the fact that he’s an orphan with no status. If he ever wants to feel equal to his beautiful and generous friend Kirstyn, he must leave Hagenheim and seek his fortune.
Yet once Aladdin departs, Lady Kirstyn becomes a pawn in a terrible plot. Now, Aladdin and Kirstyn must rely on their bond to save her from unexpected danger. But will saving Kirstyn cost Aladdin his newfound status and everything he’s worked so hard to obtain?
An enchanting new version of the well-known tale, The Orphan’s Wish tells a story of courage and loyalty, friendship and love, and reminds us what “family” really means.

After the tragic death of her husband, Aven Norgaard is beckoned to give up her life in Norway to become a housekeeper in the rugged hills of nineteenth-century Appalachia.

Yet even as a stranger in a foreign land, Aven has hope to build a new life in this tight-knit family.
But her unassuming beauty disrupts the bond between the brothers. The youngest two both desire her hand, and Aven is caught in the middle, unsure where—and whether—to offer her affection. While Haakon is bold and passionate, it is Thor who casts the greatest spell upon her. Though Deaf, mute, and dependent on hard drink to cope with his silent pain, Thor possesses a sobering strength.
As autumn ushers in the apple harvest, the rift between Thor and Haakon deepens and Aven faces a choice that risks hearts. Will two brothers’ longing for her quiet spirit tear apart a family? Can she find a tender belonging in this remote, rugged, and unfamiliar world?

The Reckoning at Gossamer Pond Author Interview and Promo and Book Excerpt










About The Reckoning at Gossamer Pond:
For over a century, the town of Gossamer Grove has thrived on its
charm and Midwestern
values, but Annalise Forsythe knows painful secrets, including her
own, hover just beneath the pleasant facade. When a man is found d
ead in his run-down trailer home,
Annalise inherits the trailer, along with the pictures, vintage
obituaries, and old
revival posters covering its walls. As she sorts through the
collection, she's wholly
unprepared for the ramifications of the dark and deadly secrets she'll
uncover.

A century earlier, Gossamer Grove has been stirred into chaos by the
arrival of
controversial and charismatic twin revivalists. The chaos takes a
murderous turn
when Libby Sheffield, working at her father's newspaper, receives
an obituary for
a reputable church deacon hours before his death. As she works with
the deacon's son
to unravel the mystery behind the crime, it becomes undeniably clear
that a reckoning
has come to town—but it isn't until another obituary arrives that they
realize the true
depths of the danger they've waded into.

Two women, separated by a hundred years, must uncover the
within the
borders of their own town before it's too late and they lose their
future—or their
very souls.
