Everyone has a wish. Desiree’s just got real.
For years eighteen-year-old Desiree has been living in a sort of limbo, granting wishes for others while never receiving her own. Now it’s the hippie-genie’s turn and she’s finally going to get what she asked for so long ago, a second chance at life.
She has two options: moving forward or going back. Moving forward means no longer being a genie, going to college, and living the independent life she’s dreamt about for so long. Going back means returning to 1968 to when her best friend, brother, and parents are still alive. But would she get to fix her mistakes or be forced to live through them for a second time?
Complicating things further is the fact that both choices take her away from Kaf. And that’s a huge problem because falling in love with her exasperating boss was the last thing Desiree expected.

Shawn McGuire is the author of young adult novels that blend contemporary settings and issues with a touch of fantasy and magic. She started writing after seeing the first Star Wars movie (that's episode IV) as a kid. She couldn't wait for the next movie to come out so wrote her own episodes. Sadly, those notebooks are long lost, but her desire to write is as strong now as it was then
Her books deal with harder topics (dating violence, death of a sibling, divorce, substance abuse, runaways, etc.) because she believes it is important to talk about these things. Those kinds of topics can be hard to handle and a bit overwhelming, so she infuses a bit of humor in her work as well because she also believes that a sense of humor can help you get through just about anything.
Shawn lives in Colorado with her family where she loves to read, cook and bake, craft, decorate her house, and spend time hiking and camping in the spectacular Rocky Mountains.
