The Wishing Star (Starlight Trilogy Book #1)
Jenny, living in the frontier districts of New York and Ohio in
the early 1800's, is a bright and unusually inquisitive young girl.
Though living in poverty with limited schooling and spiritual
guidance, and tough viciously mistreated by a drunken father,
quick-minded Jenny becomes an avid reader. Her father's forbidden
book holds an overwhelming fascination for her. Will she find the
truth, or is she on a dangerous road with no end in sight?
Here is a powerful historical novel with style and theme similar to
the author's first two in this genre, concerning the early days of
Mormonism.

In the same genre as The Wedding Dress and With This
Ring, author Marian Wells brings history and fiction together
in a powerful novel of light and darkness, truth and falsehood,
good and evil.
Jenny, living in the frontier districts of New York and Ohio in the
early 1800's, is a bright and unusually inquisitive young girl.
Though surrounded by poverty, enduring abuse by a drunken father,

and quick-minded Jenny reaches out for something different.
The window out of her restricted life is the world of books. The
green-covered one, her father's forbidden book, holds an
overwhelming fascination for her.
WILL JENNY FIND TRUTH, OR IS SHE ON A DANGEROUS ROAD WITH NO END IN
SIGHT?
