<DIV><b>When three village women each make a wish on a local artifact, their desires come true in unexpected ways</b></div><DIV><BR>The Plague Stone squats at the center of the seemingly tranquil village of Meadcombe, haunted by legends of black magic. One night, three Meadcombe women each make a wish. Widowed Marian prays for the death of her mother-in-law, an unpleasant woman now suffering from dementia. Teenager Melanie yearns to escape the village and, in particular, her selfish, depressed father and her self-indulgently martyred mother. And social-climbing Sonia needs a loan from her despised father-in-law to save her husband&rsquo;s business and their desperately fragile, <i>nouveau-riche</i> lifestyle.</div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>By the next morning, all three women&rsquo;s wishes have come true . . . but in a less-than-pleasant fashion. Did chance grant their desires, or are darker forces at work? </div>
