In this fantasy inspired by Arabian Nights, orphaned Aminah becomes the master of the jinni of the lamp and is granted three wishes every month. While seeking to improve her own lot, Aminah discovers that her true desire is to help others. With a unique Middle Eastern setting, suspenseful plot, and strong cast of characters--including the amusing Jinni--the novel has a lot to offer.
