description: The Wishing Place was magical.  You went to sleep and you could be there, if it chose to take you.  On those lucky nights you could do anything you wanted.  You could have anything you could think to ask for. You could even see the future.  But what if you had to wait 16 years for the vision to become reality?
  Valerie Porter was a lonely little girl.  Her world fell apart when Granny passed away and her parents troubled marriage ended in a bitter divorce.  Her only solace lay in Granny's fairy tales and the secret Granny had shared with her alone - the secret of the Wishing Place.
  Granny said what The Wishing Place showed was real and would happen.  She promised Valerie that there was true love out in the world meant for her. But a promise wasn't much to hold on to when Valerie became an unwelcome stepchild.
  One night, Valerie asked The Wishing Place to show her something special - something really important.  What she got was an eight-year-old boy named Nickolas Rossi who was everything she could want in a friend. But was he just a dream or could he fulfill Granny's promise and make happily ever after a reality?
