She's had plenty of visions, usually boring ones like someone's toilet's overflowed, but she's never seen one of herself before. When her overbearing momma winds up murdered on her sofa instead, two things are certain: There isn't enough hydrogen peroxide in the state of Arkansas to get that stain out, and Rose is the prime suspect. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRose realizes she's wasted twenty-four years of living and makes a list on the back of a Wal-Mart receipt: twenty-eight things she wants to accomplish before her vision comes true. She's well on her way with the help of her next-door neighbor Joe, who has no trouble teaching Rose the rules of drinking but won't help with number fifteen-- do more with a man. Joe's new to town, but it doesn't take a vision for Rose to realize he's got plenty of secrets of his own. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSomebody thinks Rose has something they want, and they'll do anything to get it. Her house is broken into, someone else she knows is murdered, and suddenly, dying a virgin in the Fenton County jail isn't her biggest worry after all. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWinner of The Beacon - 2010 Unpublished Division, Mainstream Category\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDenise lives in Lee's Summit, Missouri.
