Welcome everyone and I hope you are keeping warm. Mr Wonderful and I posed for this photo in front of our warm and cozy cape cod style home in Rochester, New York. We lived there for ten years. Within a month of moving to Rochester in 1998, they had a blizzard that shut down the town and the national guard was called in. I was not a stranger to snow and ice and it was fun…for a while. Then I remembered why I moved away. Our goal was ten years and back to the sunny climate of the south. We made it!
Today, here in Florida, we are having sunny skies and the temp is supposed to go up to the high 60s.
The Friday 56 is hosted by Freda’s Voice.The only rules are to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your ereader and find any sentence or a few ( no spoilers) that grabs you and post it.

ASHLYNN’S DREAMS by Julie C Gilbert
I love this wonderful cover, don’t you?
.“Dr Devya knows! Your momma better leave right quick.”
The synopsis is the first paragraph of the book, so here is an additional little tease.
Then, it turned out to be true. Looking back with wiser eyes now, my family and I concluded that the events leading up to my transformation started the summer I turned nine.
SYNOPSIS
Before she was kidnapped, Jillian Marie Antel Blairington was just an average bright, brave, headstrong child. She was excited for life in a new house with her Momma and new Daddy. Afterward, she’s all that … and so much more. Held in a scientific facility, Jillian discovers her past-a family she never knew and a power she doesn’t understand. With her ability now activated, she can enter and even shape a person’s dreams. Jillian’s been kidnapped, and her Gift has been triggered, so she can locate and save Benjamin Connelly, a brother she never even knew she had. She’d better master this strange ability quickly, though, because her life isn’t the only one at stake. Her babysitter, Danielle Matheson, is being held as a hostage to ensure Jillian’s full cooperation. Slowly, Jillian begins to learn more about her captor and the other genetically altered children held at the facility.
Join Jillian as she tries to survive the training being forced upon her, find her unknown brother, escape with Danielle, and work her way back to a normal life once more.
