What You Wish for

Fern Michaels is the international New York Times bestselling author of The Guest List, Celebration, Yesterday, Finders Keepers, and many other novels. Surrounded by five children, three grandchildren, and five dogs, she shares her 300-year-old South Carolina plantation home with a resident ghost named Mary Margaret who leaves messages on her computer. Aside from writing books, ("I like writing about families and strong women who find their niche in life just the way I did") and administering two family-run day care centers, Fern has a brand-new hobby: "I'm taking gourmet cooking lessons and, so far, the only comment from my kids is this, 'It's okay mom, but don't make it again.' The dogs walk away from the leftovers. What's a writer to do?"Michaels, Fern is the author of 'What You Wish for', published 2001 under ISBN 9780821768280 and ISBN 082176828X.
