Five Wishes takes place in Hamlet, a New England town. Delbert MacInnes is content to live where he was born and raised. "I'll look out another window if I want a different view," he says. His wife Matilda MacInnes isn't the complaining type; she wants her family to believe she's happy with her life, but for decades she's hidden a big secret, and it wants out! When an unexpected event happens, Matilda discovers--though she is no longer young--that wishes can still come true.
