In this heartwarming and whimsical novel, two very different half-sisters discover they have one thing in common: they’re both in hot water. To get out of it, they may have to learn that life’s hidden treasures aren’t always so hidden—and that dreams can come true even when wishes don’t . . .
Scrappy, worldly Kennedy Jenkins and soft-hearted Emma Keil barely know each other, but when life throws them each a curve ball, they’re suddenly living together—in a rundown trailer park they’ve 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 can’t take her own advice, has lost her apartment, and her on-again, off-again, commitment-phobic boyfriend, Dex, is no help. Still, she’s 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. She’s determined to find it—even if it means turning to Madam Misty . . .
When Madam Misty grants them three wishes, they’re clear: Kennedy wants money; Emma just wants Dex. But as the nights get chillier, and Halloween descends, a special kind of magic ensues—one that will reveal surprising truths about their father, themselves—and what they really want out of life . . .
