Their hopes and losses." -- From the introduction by Lisa L.
Their worries and fears.
Across the ages we hear their carefully hidden thoughts.

Seven stories, set in seven time periods, reveal the deepest longings of the human heart."One tale at a time, Kate Forsyth and Kim Wilkins immerse us in the fabled waters of Cerne Abbas, plunging us deeper and deeper into the lore of this village, further and further into its past.
When Rosie arrives in the tiny village of Cerne Abbas with a broken heart, she becomes connected across the centuries with others who have yearned for something.
Two thousand years of stories.
People have always come to make wishes at the Silver Well: in Pagan times and Christian, during revolution and war.
