For you I was a chapter-a good chapter maybe or even your favorite chapter but still just a chapter-and for me you were the book. Judith Whitman believes in the sort of love that picks you up in Akron Ohio & sets you down in Rio de Janeiro. But she married more pragmatically. Before her marriage to a banker before her career as a film editor in Los Angeles Judith was 17 & living in Nebraska where she met Willy Blunt a carpenter whose pale blue eyes & easy smile awakened in Judith the reckless girl he alone imagined her to be.
