Riassunto

Everyone makes mistakes. Crissy’s just might kill her. Crissy was so sure Brad was the one, she believed him when he swore the first bruise was an accident. She believed him when he said he loved her after the second. Trapped with no idea of how to escape, Crissy wishes for a better future. Desiree, a hippie Wish Mistress (aka a genie), arrives to grant Crissy's wish and brings salvation in the form of Lance. He shows Crissy that she's worthy of true love. But Brad doesn't like Crissy's newfound confidence and makes sure she knows it. Genies aren't supposed to get involved. Desiree's job is to make wishes come true and move along. That means stepping aside when things go from bad to nightmarish for Crissy. Standing by is what Desiree is supposed to do. But then, she never has played by other people's rules.

L'autore:

Shawn McGuire is the author of young adult, speculative fiction novels that blend contemporary settings with a touch of fantasy and magic. She started writing after seeing the first Star Wars movie (that’s episode IV) as a kid: she couldn’t wait for the next one so wrote her own episodes. Sadly, those notebooks are long lost, but her desire to write is as strong now as it was then. She grew up in the beautiful Mississippi River town of Winona, Minnesota, the small town that inspired the setting for Sticks and Stones and the upcoming Break My Bones. After graduating college she moved to the Milwaukee area of Wisconsin (Go Pack Go!) where she lived for many years. She and her family now call Colorado home and when not writing or reading, Shawn enjoys cooking and baking, crafts, interior decorating, and spending time hiking and camping in the spectacular Rocky Mountains.

Product Description:

Everyone makes mistakes. Crissy's just might kill her. Seventeen-year-old Crissy Sheets was so sure Brad was the one, she believed him when he swore the first bruise was an accident. She believed him when he said he loved her after the second. Now trapped in an abusive relationship with no idea of how to escape, Crissy makes a wish for a better future. Desiree, a hippie Wish Mistress (aka a genie), appears to grant Crissy's wish and salvation comes in the form of Lance, a new neighbor who teaches Crissy self-defense. Brad doesn't like Crissy's newfound confidence though, and he makes sure she knows it. Genies aren't supposed to get involved. Desiree's job is to provide what's needed for a wish to come true and move along. That means stepping aside when things not only get worse for Crissy, they turn deadly. Standing by is what she's supposed to do. But then, Desiree never has played by other people's rules.
