Break My Bones

Everyone makes mistakes. Crissy's just might kill her. Seventeen-year-old Crissy Sheets was so sure Brad was the one, she believed him when he swore the first bruise was an accident. She believed him when he said he loved her after the second. Now trapped in an abusive relationship with no idea of how to escape, Crissy makes a wish for a better future. Desiree, a hippie Wish Mistress (aka a genie), appears to grant Crissy's wish and salvation comes in the form of Lance, a new neighbor who teaches Crissy self-defense. Brad doesn't like Crissy's newfound confidence though, and he makes sure she knows it. Genies aren't supposed to get involved. Desiree's job is to provide what's needed for a wish to come true and move along. That means stepping aside when things not only get worse for Crissy, they turn deadly. Standing by is what she's supposed to do. But then, Desiree never has played by other people's rules.
