"Running Scared" is about a newborn baby boy who is not wanted by his unwed mother. Add in a wealthy family that is part of the social elite of Boston, illegitimate children, spoiled legitimate children and peripheral characters. Pull the characters together and the story of the baby, his father and adoptive mother unfolds. As a teenager, Jon is able to see into the future on occasion. In a dream he sees himself running from danger in a strange city that is decorated with Christmas lights. After Jon dreams of danger during the Christmas holidays, he battles the high school bully and tries to assess events in his live that could lead to fulfulling the prophecy of his dream. This book was originally released as "Wishes". In this new version, Lisa Jackson kept the characters and the story but added some scenes then "notched up" the suspense.
