En Rose Lake hay un concurso de buzones Free Library cada Navidad y gana el vecino que tenga el buzón más bonito para libros. Hay un festival de otoño que incluye subastas de calabazas y concursos de cortar leña con hacha. Hay un solo restaurante, pero es posible que sirva el mejor chocolate caliente del mundo.

Según Maia, un rincón perdido del mundo, entre las montañas de Oregon (Estados Unidos). Según Martin es el mejor sitio para nacer y crecer.

Siete años dan para mucho. Ashley Jones te diría que, en siete años, una persona puede aprenderlo todo acerca de perder y ganar lo más vital de la vida. Brody Sanders diría que son suficientes para planear una venganza perfecta. Maia Campbell-Dávalos diría que, con mucho esfuerzo y el apoyo de una gran familia, en siete años puedes llevar las riendas de tu vida de un modo que nunca nadie imaginó. Y Kellan Hyland... Bueno, en realidad, si se lo preguntaras a Kellan posiblemente te miraría a través de sus gafas de sol, gruñiría algo, devolvería la atención a su guitarra y te ignoraría por completo. Lo que está claro es que, aunque hayan pasado siete años, Rose Lake todavía tiene muchas historias sin resolver. Quizá demasiadas. Y ha llegado el momento de completarlas.
