Though she's generally self-absorbed, something compels Janna to buy a hat for a homeless woman--who's actually a genie. Now Janna can wish for everything she wants, but the wishes have rules and consequences, and Janna finds her new power strangely unfulfilling. The unintended consequences of Janna's wishes keep the story moving while she learns the expected lessons about greed and kindness.
