Wishes in branches tied with string. Someone's hopes. Another's dreams. Loretta Thompson is a people-person. She loves meeting new people and learning about their lives--and she has a special gift which makes everyone she meets feel like she's their best friend.

She periodically cleans rooms at the Wishing Tree Inn, and she's always been fascinated by what she can learn from the things guests leave behind. Her love of imagining the lives of lost objects leads her all over the country returning the misplaced items she finds at the inn.

Along the way, she discovers a love of genealogy to match her whimsical imagination and the adoration of the camper she drives all over the country. After returning the last of her lost items, she picks up a couple of women she met years ago on one of her quests.

Sally Redwood was a genealogy center coordinator before she needed a hip replacement, and since she has no family where she lives, Loretta picks her up and takes her back to Linden Falls to help her heal.

And Lois Bryant has just lost her husband and needs a fresh start. She tells her children she's going to Vermont, and while they're not happy, Lois's spirits are refreshed and her mind is eased the moment Loretta pulls up with that silver camper in tow.

Back in Linden Falls, all three women tie a wish to the tree, each hoping and searching for different things. Loretta isn't sure why she's bothering with the string and paper, because the one wish that did come true turned out to be a disaster.

When her amazing next-door neighbor of over twenty years moves and Loretta gets a new...grouchier neighbor, she marches down to the tree to remove her wish only to find it gone.

Of course.

Sally's wish is answered just as terribly, and when Lois's actually brings her estranged sister to town, Loretta vows she'll stop wishing altogether...

Join Jessie Newton, USA Today bestselling author of the Five Island Cove series, as she brings the latest book in The Wishing Tree series alive, featuring her typical heartwarming stories of enduring friendships, long-lost secrets, and created sisterhood.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wishes for second chances

Gone Wishing is by Jesse Newton and is the eighth book in The Wishing Tree series. Loretta Thompson is a people person. She loves meeting new people and has a special gift that everyone feels as she is their best friend. As she helps clean the rooms at the Wishing Tree Inn, she is fascinated by the items people leave behind. Her fascination leads her across the country as she returns the lost items to their rightful owners. Now she is returning to Linden Falls but this time she has company. Sally Redwood was a genealogy center coordinator before she had her hip replacement. With no family to help her while she heals, she joins Loretta back to Linden Falls to recover. Lois Bryant lost her husband a year ago and still reeling from his sudden loss, she needs a fresh start. Despite her children’s protests, Lois packs up and heads to Linden Falls with Loretta and Sally. Back in Linden Falls, all three women tie a wish to the famous tree.
Gone Wishing is a sweet story of second chances. Second chances at a fulfilling life and maybe even love. Readers first learn about Loretta in an earlier book as she has packed up and left, leaving Neva in a lurch. Now she’s back and we learn more about the reasons behind her wayward travels and her lack of faith in the Wishing Tree. Sally was a hard character to like as she constantly complained about the lack of good barbeque. Or at least what she would consider good barbeque. However, by the end of the book, Sally’s story is one readers will cheer for as she finds new life in her new home. Lois’s story is the one that I clung to the most. Lois takes the most risk as her children are against her move. I enjoyed that she stuck up for herself and demanded that she needs to find a new purpose. Overall, I enjoyed Gone Wishing and highly recommend it and the rest of the Wishing Tree series.

Gone Wishing is available in paperback and eBook

This is the eighth book in the Wishing Tree series by multiple authors. This one was written by Jessie Newton. This time it is Loretta’s story. As usual, she’s gone off for awhile to return things people left at the Wishing Tree Inn. But while away, she brings home two gals she’d met on previous trips. They each put wishes on the tree. Loretta tries to remain in Linden Falls, especially after meeting her new neighbor, but a photo album is calling her. After returning it, she realizes that her wish has come true and home is where she needs to be. This is a wonderful and heartwarming story. It’s about paying it forward and the love and kindness of friends. I’m really looking forward to reading the rest of the series. The stories are so relatable.

Jessie Newton’s Gone Wishing is Book 8 in The Wishing Tree Series. This trip back to Linden Falls focuses on Loretta Thompson who works at the Wishing Tree Inn and spends quite of bit of her time traveling the country returning items left behind at the Inn to their rightful owners. On this return trip, Loretta brings back two friends with her who, like Loretta, are a little lost themselves. Sally is recovering from a hip replacement and needs some time to heal. Lois is a recent widow and needs a quiet place in which to consider what she wants to do in the next phase of her life. And, Loretta is wondering if Linden Falls is truly where she belongs.
The three women share a growing friendship and things get interesting as each hangs a wish on the Wishing Tree.
You’ll enjoy this funny, romantic addition to The Wishing Tree Series!

I love this series and this book did not disappoint! I loved how Loretta brought her two friends to the Wishing Tree and the town. They all needed to heal from some of life's sadness, and they all found someone special to spend it with! I truly loved how the author brought in Five Island Cove, which is in another of her series! Kudos to Jessie Newton for a beautiful book!

Once again a wonderful story of the Wishing Tree series. This time Loretta and her two friends are making changes in their lives. Moving away from family, friends and home towns can be scary and challenging. But, the incredible bond these women have and the wonderful people they encounter make it worthwhile. Is their search for the final home finally done?

Ready for the next in the series!!

I received a complimentary copy of this book, all opinions in this review are my own.

This is book #8 in The Wishing Tree series. I loved getting to know Loretta on such a personal level, as well as her 2 friends Lois and Sally that she brought back from one of her journeys with her. Lois and Sally need to decide whether their trip to Linden Falls is going to be permanent or just a little vacation.
This series is wonderful and this book does not disappoint. I can't wait to see where the people of Linden Falls take me. You don't want to miss this series!

Love visiting Linden Falls and all the towns people. In this story about how some friends become just like family and show their love unconditionally is Amazing. Everyone has their little quirks, but they are Loved just the same. For strangers to come to Linden Falls and love it enough to make it their hometown is Awesome. Hope you Enjoy this book as much as I did.

I absolutely love this series. I feel like I know this place and the people who reside within. This one was a bit harder to grab on to, but once I did, I found it fast-paced and fun. Stories about women are my favorites, although sometimes the men can be difficult to get to know. But that's okay because they make the stories more interesting. I hope there will be more books in this series.

The three main characters in this story were quite enjoyable to read, especially their friendship.
What I didn’t enjoy reading about was the religious aspect throughout the book, references to god and his lord, and the constant discussion about pig roast. Seriously overbearing and unnecessary. None of the other books in this series has a religious connotation fortunately. As for the boring page upon page about a pig roast… I have to ask why!?
