One wish for a lifetime...In the village of Bishop Mayne there is a magical Wishing Well where a person may make one wish in a lifetime.

Only eleven-year-old Nuria, who lives with her grandfather up on the mountain, remains.Then one child returns -- Catty Winter. Catty's legs are mysteriously crippled, and Catty desperately wants Nuria to make a wish so she can walk again. Nuria swears she will make the wish for her friend. But the Well has a mind of its own. What if Nuria's wish qoes wrong?
