What She Wanted

ebook
It seems Katy has been waiting for her eighteenth birthday all her life. Raised by a grandfather who never got over losing Katy's mother to cancer at a young age, she's dreamed of a life free of the burdens of her family's tragedies. But just before her birthday, she learns tragedy isn't finished telling its story . . .

Before she can begin her new life, Katy's grandfather suffers a heart attack, a box of her mother's keepsakes, including a journal written to Katy while she was in her mother's womb, at his side. Believing the only thing her grandpa loves enough to live for is her mother's memory, Katy reads to him from the journal every night at the hospital. Night after night, line after line, Katy begins to see herself as her mother saw her in her dreams. Buoyed by her mother's undying love and conviction, Katy vows to make her mother's sacrifice mean something and promises to fulfill all her mother's requests. Even the hard ones. Especially those . . .
