The Wishing Trees by John Shors

Almost a year after the death of his wife, former high-tech executive Ian finds a letter that will change his life. It contains Kate's final wish-a plea for him to take their ten-year-old daughter, Mattie, on a trip across Asia, through the countries they had always planned to visit. Eager to honor the woman they loved, Ian and Mattie embark on an epic journey, leaving notes to Kate in wishing trees along the way, and encountering miracles large and small. And as they begin to find their way back to each other, they discover that healing is possible and love endures-lessons that Kate hoped to show them all along.

After graduating from Colorado College in 1991, John Shors traveled extensively throughout Asia, first teaching English in Japan for several years and then travelling across the continent, visiting 10 countries and climbing the Himalayas. Shors worked as a newspaper reporter in his birthplace of Des Moines, Iowa, before coming to Boulder, Colorado, to work in public relations. His debut novel is Under a Marble Sky.
