Rose has an almost magical ability to make her wishes come true or so it seems. At fifteen years of age she wrote a wish list:
1. Meet Rodolfo Vitti in person 2. Go to Rome 3. Go to Paris 4. Go to Venice. Ride a gondola with my love
It seemed a little less than impossible for a simple Alabama girl who couldn't even finish her studies. But her number one wish has been granted, Rose is married to Rodolfo Vitti. Will her other wishes come true? She is starting to fear that they will as she is slowly learning that dreams can become nightmares.
