In this heartwarming and whimsical novel, two very different half-sisters discover they have one thing in common: theyāre both in hot water. To get out of it, they may have to learn that lifeās hidden treasures arenāt always so hiddenāand that dreams can come true even when wishes donāt . . .
Scrappy, worldly Kennedy Jenkins and soft-hearted Emma Keil barely know each other, but when life throws them each a curve ball, theyāre suddenly living togetherāin a rundown trailer park theyāve inherited from their late father, in a nowhere California town aptly called Ghost. After all, their neighbor, Madam Misty, is a soothsayer-witch, and Halloween is just around the corner.
A casino host, Kennedy is hiding out from a high roller who wrongly thinks she stole tens of thousands of dollars from him. Emma, a flat-broke advice columnist who canāt take her own advice, has lost her apartment, and her on-again, off-again, commitment phobic boyfriend, Dex, is no help. Still, sheās charmed by Ghost, its quirky residentsāand the enigmatic guy who lives in trailer 510āwhile Kennedy is sure their father hid a fortune somewhere. Sheās determined to find itāeven if it means turning to Madam Misty . . .
When Madam Misty grants them three wishes, theyāre clear: Kennedy wants money; Emma just wants Dex. But as the nights get chillier, and Halloween descends, a special kind of magic ensuesāone that will reveal surprising truths about their father, themselvesāand what they really want out of life . . .
