Wishing Day
On the third night of
the third month after a girl’s thirteenth birthday, every girl in the
town of Willow Hill makes three wishes.
The first wish is an impossible wish.
The second is a wish she can make come true herself.
And the third is the deepest wish of her secret heart.
Natasha is the oldest child in a family steeped in magic, though she’s not sure she believes in it. She’s full to bursting with wishes, however. She
misses her mother, who disappeared nearly eight long years ago. She has a crush on one of the cutest boys in her class, and she thinks maybe it
would be nice if her very first kiss came from him. And amid the chaos
of a house full of sisters, aunts, and a father lost in grief, she aches to simply be... noticed.
So Natasha goes to the willow tree at
the top of the hill on her Wishing Day, and she makes three wishes. What unfolds is beyond anything she could have imagined.
