The time is the 1950s, when life was simpler, people still believed in dreams,and family was, very nearly, everything. The place is a small midwestern townwith a high school and a downtown, a skating pond and a movie house. And on atree-lined street in the heartland of America, an extraordinary set of eventsbegins to unfold. And gradually what seems serendipitous is tinged withpurpose. A happy home is shattered by a child's senseless death. A lovingmarriage starts to unravel. And a stranger arrives--a young woman who willtouch many lives before she moves on. She and a young man will meet and fallin love. Their love, so innocent and full of hope, helps to restore a family'sdreams. And all of their lives will be changed forever by the precious giftshe leaves them.
