In this heartwarming and whimsical novel, two very different half-sisters discover they have one thing in common: theyโre both in hot water. To get out of it, they may have to learn that lifeโs hidden treasures arenโt always so hiddenโand that dreams can come true even when wishes donโt . . .
Scrappy, worldly Kennedy Jenkins and soft-hearted Emma Keil barely know each other, but when life throws them each a curve ball, theyโre suddenly living togetherโin a rundown trailer park theyโve 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 canโt take her own advice, has lost her apartment, and her on-again, off-again, commitment-phobic boyfriend, Dex, is no help. Still, sheโs charmed by Ghost, its quirky residents, and the enigmatic guy who lives in trailer 510, while Kennedy is sure their father hid a fortune somewhere. Sheโs determined to find itโeven if it means turning to Madam Misty . . .
When Madam Misty grants them three wishes, theyโre clear: Kennedy wants money; Emma just wants Dex. But as the nights get chillier, and Halloween descends, a special kind of magic ensuesโone that will reveal surprising truths about their father, themselvesโand what they really want out of life . . .
