When smoke pours out of a bottle on her doorstep, the last thing Vanessa expects is a Genie — complete with abs, attitude, and an actual rule book for his wishes.

Three wishes between three friends should be simple. It isn't. Between her mother's newest scheme threatening to unravel everything and a Genie who won't come out of his bottle when she needs him most, Vanessa's forced to rely on nothing but the truth to hold her small, hard-won life together.

Funny, warm, and sharper than it first looks, Wishing for Truths is a story about wishes gone wrong, families that let you down, and learning what it really means to be careful what you wish for.
