On October 31, 1998 Salem Rosetta Heart was born at South Stone Memorial. At the age of 14 she was diagnosed by her doctor, Karen A. Johnstons, with Schizophrenia, a disease that makes her unaware of who she is. Her father soon bought a hospital where the schizophrenic group of people could be cared for, called the Schiz Heart Mental Hospital. She sometimes imagines another person who she has named Samantha Dylan Heart. She unwillingly changes into two different people. Samantha is unpredictable and could come out at the most bizarre times. Most people think Salem is just crazy but they do not know what is going on in her life.

    Stewart Wolf attempted various investigations on why few Rosetans suffer from heart disease under the age of sixty-five. He tried to see if their diets, exercise, genes, and the location of Roseto itself contributed to the fact that Rosetans remained so healthy, but he came up with nothing.
