Lovely story about three generations of the strong "Quinn" women. From dust jacket: "This is the legend attached to the Wishing Jar, handed down through five generations of the Quinn family. Great-Grandma Gracie purchased the painted ginger jar almost a hundred years ago, and now the beautiful little jar with the red-and-gold bird emblazoned on its side is as familiar as the family motto--"Purity of Heart, Faithfulness of Soul"--and the legacy of the 'strong Quinn women'. But these days Abby, Edith, and Neal Grace--the last three generations of Quinn women--feel anything but strong, faithful, or pure. In recent years their happy family life has turned to ashes. Abby's beloved husband John Mac has been killed by a drunk driver. Her mother Edith has suffered a debilitating stroke. And her daughter Neal Grace, at age seventeen, is struggling to cope with her grief over the loss of her father and the changes in her grandmother. The Quinn women have long since stopped believing in wishes-come-true. They know all too well that the Wishing Jar cannot give them what they want. The painted phoenix appears to ruffle its feathers from time to time, but never quite seems to fly. But then, without warning, things begin to change. Abby meets a perfectly nice, perfectly dependable man who wants to take care of her and shoulder the burdens she has had to bear alone. Neal Grace finds romance and adventure with a brooding, sensitive, auto mechanic. And Edith stumbles into a miracle--a leap into the past that just might reunite her with her long-dead husband Sam. Their wishes are finally coming true. The problem is, attaining the fulfillment of your heart's desire can sometimes be a curse instead of a blessing. What follows is a journey of discovery that changes the lives of Edith and Abby and Neal Grace. But will these three women ever understand the true meaning and power of their family legacy and, like the phoenix, rise again from the ashes?"
