Thou shalt not wish your ex-husband be run over by a truck.
Nor would I wish bad things on the dressmakers, flower delivery persons, and snotty little hotel concierges who messed up room reservations and gave the suite I was supposed to have to my ex-husband and his bimbo-of-the-week.
Now that I've arrived at the hotel for my daughter's week-long wedding festivities, there are a thousand or so things that require my attention. And there are the things I'm desperately trying not to focus on, like my loneliness and the angry feeling I get every time I look at my ex.
But when everything that can go wrong does go wrong, I need a break, just one afternoon to pull it together. And it's at the market in town where I find exactly that.
And so much more.
Thanks to a pirate's lost treasure, I find a trinket, a strange and beautiful stone, that seems to be making all my wishes come true. Suddenly everything is falling into place in my life.
I may, however, have to learn to be careful what I wish for because sometimes what we think we want and what we really need are too entirely different things.
