There has to be something you work for and strive for everyday, something that motivates you to keep moving forward. Right? Maybe it is a boy or girl you are chasing after. It could be your grades or the college/university you want to attend in the future. Maybe you just want to make your parents proud. Perhaps it’s all of those things. But what happens when all of the things that motivate you are suddenly gone? Do you find the strength to move on? Or do you find new inspiration? For Lanie Johnson, it was none of those things. But what happens when a new boy comes into her life? Cameron Jackson was a new kid at Lanie's school. He finds her interesting and tries to break down the walls she's put up. He wants to help her. Will she open up to him or push him away just like she did with her other friends? Will she save herself from the damage she's doing to herself?

All Emily wants is to find a magical lamp like Aladdin and have a genie grant her three wishes; to be back with her mom in Cedar Heights, for her mom's cancer to disappear and to figure out why her relationship with her boyfriend, Mason, is circling the drain. But as the school year progresses she realizes life tends to have plans of its own-as more and more circumstances throw Ian and Emily together, she comes to realize that maybe, just maybe, it's okay not to have everything figured out and sometimes you need to have the courage to take a leap of faith and try something new-like Ariel did when getting new legs or Cinderella did when standing up to her stepmother and stepsisters. A note from the author: This book deals with mature and sensitive topics like attempted rape, physical, emotional, and sexual abuse and has some mild language.Complete
