About this ebook

A warm-hearted story of a family dealing with the troubles of their constantly difficult teen. A terrible tragedy occurs with one of the children Peter coaches, and he finds himself wishing the unimaginable. When his daughter begins to show signs of incredible change, Peter hopes for the best but still cant help but wonder whats going on.



Danette Key, was born and raised in Arizona. She is a true Desert Rat. Her and her husband, Hal Key, have raised 3 boys and have 5 step-children. She also has 18 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild. Her hobbies are reading, writing and sewing. She also loves to create homemade cards for her friends. She is currently living with her husband, Hal in Allen, Texas.

The characters are well developed and the themes and tones of the story are appropriate for its young target audience. There is even a sweet romance thrown in. I think young girls will find they can relate to the feelings of isolation and frustration that Maddy is experiencing, and to the optimism that Mary Ellen brings for a brighter future.
- Donna Nicely, M.A, Academic Counselor

This story is well-crafted from the beginning to the end. From excellent character development to the interesting plot points, On the Edge of Wishing has it all. This storys moderate pace is engaging and keeps the readers interest throughout. In addition, it features several great messages for more than just the young adult readers this book is directed toward. I would highly recommend this book for anyone looking for a story with a deeper meaning that not only entertains, but teaches kindness, patience, and appreciation.
-Midwest Book Review

Very well written and poignant! I could easily identify with the characters and felt like I knew them. I was excited and sad to finish it.
