Publisher's summary

New Orleans, a city of mystery and magic, of secrets and dreams, and a history drenched in both love and the deepest of heartache.

When ballet dancer Clara Campbell arrives in New Orleans, lonely and homesick, she is immediately captivated by the story of Windisle Plantation and the tragic tale that is said to have transpired beyond its gate. Legend has it that it is abandoned by all living souls, but to Clara’s great surprise, it is not a ghost she hears through the stone wall surrounding the property, but a flesh and blood man: a scarred stranger with a pain deeper and darker than the churning waters of the Mississippi river that flows beside his self-imposed prison.

The ruined man behind the wall hides himself from the world. The last thing he expects is to find a friend in the selfless girl who speaks to him through the cracks in the rock. The girl who keeps returning week after week. The girl who makes him wish for things he has long since given up on. The girl who strikes both fear and hope within his wounded heart. But there can be no future for them, no life beyond Windisle, for no one knows better than him that monsters only live in the dark.

The Wish Collector is the story of shame and triumph, of loneliness and love, and the miracle of two hearts connecting despite the strongest of barriers between them.

Unexpected and Enchanting Love Story

This is an enchanting love story brilliantly performed. I am so glad I One-clicked this wonderfully written story rich with details, great characters, wonder and wishes fulfilled.

This is a long story full of great character development. The Wish Collector is sad, suspenseful, passionate and most of all refreshing. The narrators bring the story of Jonah and Clara to life as you journey toward their HEA.

Amazing doesn’t even cut it

This was one of the best books I’ve ever read. It is truly a beauty and the beast, but not in the main sense. Jonah is a man so full of self loathing and doubt, but he is such a wonderful character that no matter how many times he says “I can’t” or “no” he finds a way to push himself, all because of Clara. There’s plenty of tears, but also perseverance and hope. You will love every moment of this book and be sad when it’s over. Zachary and Virginia did an amazing job narrating this book. I want to read it again.

Beautiful Book - Intrigue an the long road to love

Mia does not disappoint - Clara and Jonah are an interesting couple and their meeting is interesting and plausible to me. Mia always weaves an intricate web of intrigue on the road to our HEA but thank God she gives me one - I can't stand unhappy endings, realistic or not - anyway, this felt pretty good - and you will not lose your interest - the story of the two ghosts that haunt windisle is interesting and complex. Thanks Mia, love most of your books, love. Archers Voice remains my favorite but you have several that really shine. This book is lovely and the narration is lovely, there is never quite enough voice from the males in your stories, but they are quite good.

warning

Great story! a cinematography painted beautifully in words and expressed in vivid emotions by the narrators. the characters of this novel are realistic -(like a HEA ending twist for the phantom of the opera).

Beautiful

This story was absolutely heart rending . Mia is a very gifted writer you feel everything. Thank you. The narrators did a wonderful job! I bought this book because of Zachary Webber and fell in love with the story. Hats off to Virginia Rose for her narration also. 5 stars isn’t enough.

A very entertaining tale, well told

Lovely setting, interesting characters, and wonderful narrators....what more can you want? No, it's not great literature. The Wish Collector is simply entertaining, and I could listen to Zachary Webber read the instruction manual for a lawn mower happily for hours. Mmmmmmmm!
