      Prologue

      Mattie Harrison sat up in bed when two golden lights floated down beside her. The shimmering lights from her fairies caused excitement to bubble within Mattie in anticipation of their visit. For as long as she could remember, the two fairies were her constant companions. Tonight she had something important to ask them.

      Cara sat cross-legged on Mattie's pillow. Kendra adjusted her green dress several times before she too sat down. Mattie looked down at her small friends then crossed her legs in front of her mimicking the way they sat.

      Every so often Kendra's wings fluttered. Mattie knew she preferred playing than sitting still but tonight Mattie needed someone to talk to. Like always, Cara listened quietly as Mattie described her day and her plans for tomorrow.

      When the fairies stood, their transparent wings flapped as they started to take flight. Can you stay a little longer? Mattie asked quickly.

      Cara gracefully bowed her head and moved closer to the little girl. What's troubling you tonight lass?

      A smile touched Mattie's lips at the sound of the fairy's soft voice. Cara had brown hair similar to her own. She always had suggestions and Mattie felt calm after talking to her.

      They'd visit every evening when she went to bed to say goodnight. Mattie had asked her father for a nightlight not because she was afraid of the dark but so she could see the fairies easier without scaring them with the bright overhead light.

      My dad is very lonely. Mattie knew what she wanted but all of a sudden she didn't know what to say. She looked at her friends. Can you help me find a wife for him?

      Mattie it's bedtime. Quiet down, her father's voice carried down the hallway. Tell your friends to go home.

      Cara tapped her index finger against her lips and looked thoughtful.

      He doesn't believe in fairies, Kendra whispered. That might be hard. He doesn't have faith in us.

      We haven't even started and you're already negative. Cara put her hands on her hips then glanced at Mattie, You have to remember a non-believer doesn't like interference.

      Feeling disheartened Mattie's lower lip started to tremble. She'd given this a lot of thought. After much consideration, Mattie knew she'd needed help to find a wife for her dad.

      We'll see what we can do. Kendra looked at Mattie her expression softened. We'll help you.

      Both fairies nodded. Now she'd have assistance in her quest. Satisfied, Mattie relaxed against her pillows.

      When her father opened her bedroom door, light from the hallway flooded in casting elongated shadows across the room. The fairies instant disappearance didn't trouble Mattie. She knew as soon as her dad left the room they would return.

      Her father stood beside her bed looking down at her. With dark circles under his eyes he appeared worried and concerned. He leaned down and pulled the blankets up to her chin.

      Dad, everything will work out. Mattie kissed his cheek. Night.

      Goodnight sweetie. No more talking. You need some sleep. We're going to see grandma tomorrow.

      After her father left the room, Mattie sat up in bed. She glanced at her friends who once again sat beside her on the pillow. Mattie raised her hands and wiggled her fingers in front of her. Do you have any fairy dust to sprinkle on him?

      Chapter One

      A gentle spring breeze kissed Shelia Roberts cheek the moment she stepped out her front door. She hurried across her concrete driveway to the stepping-stones which lead to her neighbor's porch.

      Shelia inhaled the fragrance of the bouquet she held and smiled. The May Day basket reminded her of her school days. Every May First she walked to their neighbor's to deliver her flowers. The Harrison family had lived next to the Roberts' since the homes were built in this subdivision, now an older section of Forest Ridge.

      There were times her mom accused Shelia of spending more time at the Harrison house than her own home. She'd treasured the time she had spent with her best friend. Derek Harrison. While growing up they were inseparable playing baseball or hiking in the field behind their homes.

      Shelia shook her head to dissolve the playful memories which raced through her mind. She felt giddy and quickened her step. After placing the roses on the front step she rang the doorbell.

      In previous years she was able to race back to her own porch before Martha opened her door. She turned and started down the steps. Hearing the door open, Shelia knew she was caught. For the first time, Martha was faster than her. The older woman must have been waiting at the door. Conceding defeat,
