For the more modern readers Impossible Dreams by Patricia Rice shouldn’t be passed up. The writing is witting and captivating, sure to leave smiles whenever one closes the book. Impossible Dreams is another rare find that includes children; Constance and Matty.

Set in North Carolina, Maya Alyssum is a fun-loving hippie who runs her sister’s New Age shop in the town of Wadeville when she is not busy seeing to her private school, The Impossible Dream. Did I mention she’s got purple hair and is also very pregnant?

Local entrepreneur and Nordic god, Axell Holm is as straight laced as they come. He always wears a suit to work, drives a safe car, and eats his vegetables. Imagine his shock when he steps into this other world to warn Maya that the mayor is intending to shut down her school for a shopping center. He can’t have that, not when it is the only thing to make his daughter, Constance, smile these days.

But helping Maya retain her school brings down all sorts of problems on his head. The ABC board investigates his liquor license, his mother-in-law, Sandra intends to fight for custody, and more until the only weapon left in his possession is to marry the flighty purple-haired woman who has done the impossible and turned his life upside down.

Rating: 3.5 Stars

Happy Readings!
