Publisher's Summary

Eldon is guaranteed to have one wish come true, but with chaos surrounding him, how is he supposed to choose?

In the sandy Mojave Desert, Madison is a small town on the road between nothing and nowhere. But Eldon wouldn't want to live anywhere else because in Madison, everyone gets one wish - and that wish always comes true.

Some people wish for money; some people wish for love. But Eldon has seen how wishes have broken the people around him. And with the lives of his family and friends in chaos, he's left with more questions than answers. Can he make their lives better? How can he be happy if the people around him aren't? And what hope is there for any of them if happiness isn't an achievable dream?

Doubts build, leading Eldon to a more outlandish and scary thought: Maybe you can't wish for happiness - maybe, just maybe, you have to make it for yourself.

What an Extraordinary, Whimsical Story

Eldon is growing up in the ordinary, boring, dust. bowl, Nevada town of Madison.

Madison is a drive through, on the way to Rachel, for the UFO, Alien crowd.

So while Eldon pumps their gas, it give him time to
Think about what he is going to do for his upcoming eighteenth birthday.

Eighteen.

I milestone birthday, it means you are officially an adult.

And,
In the tiny town of Madison, it means you get to make your one and only wish.
For in Madison, wishes DO come true.

Only!
Be careful WHAT you wish for .

There will be elements of this book that won’t be to everyone’s liking, but I was one hundred percent onboard with Eldons growing list of indecision.
