The time is the 1950s when life was simpler people still believed in dreams & family was very nearly everything. The place is a small midwestern town with a high school & a downtown a skating pond & a movie house. & on a tree-lined street in the heartland of America an extraordinary set of events begins to unfold. & gradually what seems serendipitous is tinged with purpose. A happy home is shattered by a child's senseless death. A loving marriage starts to unravel. & a stranger arrives
- a young woman who will touch many lives before she moves on. She & a young man will meet & fall in love. Their love so innocent & full of hope helps to restore a family's dreams. & all of their lives will be changed forever by the precious gift she leaves them.
