Mercy Lake Magic Series 'Wish In A Bottle'
In a family of fairy godmothers, what if all you knew were curses?

Andrea lives alone on the lake that her magical family has called home for decades. While her other family members discover and embrace their magical abilities, Andrea’s lie hidden, leaving her to her sole talent—using rocks to access the earth’s energy.

Nick is a single dad, getting away from the chaos of his life for a month at Mercy Lake with his kids. When his two sons discover a message in a bottle in the lake mud, they discover that their pretty neighbor wrote it when she was little, tossing it into the lake many years before.

The message mentions a curse, and as Andrea comes to terms with her feelings for this new man, as well as old pain and even older magic, she realizes that the curse she wrote about as a child is turning out to be something very different than what she’d thought. For Nick, the strange but beautiful woman crossing his path draws him closer and closer until he wonders if his attraction to her is being assisted by fate… or magic.

The second book in the Mercy Lake Magic series, Wish in a Bottle is a stand-alone novel that charmingly continues the magic of Wish Upon His Heart—a magic as mysterious as a wish and as real as

    Not only does Nicolas achieve a sense of morality, but he also gains insight into the stories of his father, and his innocence towards his girlfriend. "He remember[s] his father's stories about his poor childhood… [and] for the first time in his life, he managed to link those didactic anecdotes with a reality he could see" (235). Nicolas is "embarrassed and confused" when he thinks of the many times that she must have used "witchcraft to keep her poverty from being noticed" (235). This mention of witchcraft also helps to blend both aspects of Magic Realism perfectly into the…

    In the beginning of the movie, Nick seems to be talking to a psychiatrist. In his file it says that he is an alcoholic, he says that they were all alcoholic at that time. This is very different to the book, in which he describes only having been drunk a few times, “ I have been drunk just twice in my life, and the second time was that afternoon”. I think the producer included in this part about Nick to show how much his experiences in New York affected him.…

    If Gatsby represents one part of Fitzgerald’s personality, the flashy celebrity who pursued and glorified wealth in order to impress the woman he loved, then Nick represents another part: the quiet, reflective Midwesterner adrift in the lurid East. A young man (he turns thirty during the course of the novel) from Minnesota, Nick travels to New York in 1922 to learn the bond business. He lives in the West Egg district of Long Island, next door to Gatsby. Nick is also Daisy’s cousin, which enables him to observe and assist the resurgent love affair between Daisy and Gatsby. As a result of his relationship to these two characters, Nick is the perfect choice to narrate the novel, which functions as a personal memoir of his experiences with Gatsby in the summer of 1922.…
