Ooops ... I am so sorry it took so long. I read this story two minutes after it came to my Kindle ... I procrastinate far too much. I'd better hurry and review Sweet Dreams. Dont' be like me ... hurry ... read Sherry tell her what you think.

Sherry has a truly unique voice and has used it to craft an intriguing story. How the innocent purchase of an Underwood typewriter changes the lives of the two cousins, Megan and Catherine. A short with power and punch, What You Wish For takes us on a journey ... the road twists and turns ... we find ourselves laughing and then we take pause. Something very strange is happening and Megan and Catherine are in the middle of it.
This is a quick and well written story you can read on a cummute, or a treat on a quiet afternoon. Do youself a favor and read this story. IN this and in all her stories, Sherry keeps her promise to tell a damn good story that leaves us at the end wanting more.

The humor hits, twists, and storyteller voice of Sherry Isaac shine in this short story about protagonist Megan's quest for fulfillment. No spoilers, but this reader LOVED the image of the Underwood, the pages it produced, and the twists the creative author spun into this tale. RECOMMEND!

What You Wish For is a captivating short story, a blend of whimsy and suspense that explores the strong and sometimes complicated bond between two cousins, Megan and Catherine.
The story opens with delightful banter as these two young women shop for treasures at a flea market. Megan picks up an ancient Underwood typewriter, but we soon realize there’s something not quite normal with this purchase.
A true story teller, in What You Wish For, Sherry Isaac leads us down a straight path where we’re confident we know the way until she expertly twists the direction and suddenly we find the story is not what we think.
Sherry Isaac has a lyrical voice that will charm any reader. Her clever prose is a delight to read. It’s apparent this is an author with a love of words.
I don’t think you can read What You Wish For without putting yourself in Megan’s shoes by playing along and making a wish. To learn what Megan wishes for, pick up the story for your commute to work, or take a break from the TV and computer, and read it aloud to your family, like I did. They loved it!
