About the book
Releasing from the author of the bestseller How to Walk Away, What You Wish For is a new novel that is brimming with hope and heart.
Samantha Casey, a school librarian, is deeply passionate about her job, the children, and her school community.
Although, it hasn't always been this way for her.
Duncan Carpenter is the school's new principal, who strictly follows rules and regulations, always cautious of potential dangers.
Yet, this was not always his demeanor.
Sam remembers a different Duncan from their time together at a previous school, a different life. She had once loved him, although she remained unnoticed by him and everyone else. She moved to a new school, a new job, hoping for a fresh start. However, when Duncan is appointed as the new principal at her current school, Sam sees it as the best and worst thing to happen to her.
But, everything changes when Duncan's protective nature morphs into destructive behavior, endangering the school.
As chaos ensues within the school community, and threats surround them, Sam and Duncan must rediscover themselves, find courage, and take a chance on love - which may be their riskiest decision yet.
With the author's trademark sparkling dialogue, unforgettable characters, and themes of hope and humanity, What You Wish For showcases Katherine Center at her most captivating.
