Wishmakers: Hidden Dreams / She Wanted Red Velvet
jjares avatar reviewed on + 3429 more book reviews


These are two novellas reprinted from earlier times. HIDDEN DREAMS was originally printed in 1983 and SHE WANTED RED VELVET came out in 1986.

HIDDEN DREAMS suffers from being a short story and needing more time to develop the final solution. Margaret makes some life-changing decisions based on little life-experience. (3 stars)

SHE WANTED RED VELVET is about a young woman (and her adopted son), running from an abusive husband right into the arms of 2 Hells' Angels-type hoodlums. Gloria Masterson is saved by a hippie-type biker. Gloria tries to start life over again at her aunt's motel in Montana. (4 stars)
