What do you want most in the world? What Anne Marie Roche wants is to find happiness again. At thirty-eight, she&;s childless, a recent widow, alone. She owns a successful bookstore on Seattle&;s Blossom Street, but despite her accomplishments, there&;s a feeling of emptiness.

On Valentine&;s Day, Anne Marie and several other widows get together to celebrate&;a sense of hope. They each begin a list of twenty wishes&;including things they&;d always wanted to do but never did.

Some of the items on Anne Marie&;s list: learning to knit, falling in love again, doing good for someone else. When she volunteers at a local school, an eight-year-old girl named Ellen enters her life. It&;s a relationship that becomes far more involving&;and far more important&;than Anne Marie had ever imagined.

As Ellen helps Anne Marie complete her list, they both learn that wishes can come true&;but not necessarily in the way you expect!
