A light-hearted account of a successful middle aged widower who chances to visit the small town in which he grew up to renew old acquaintances and perhaps reflect on his successes since his departure.
This visit, however, becomes far more to him than he would have imagined, as he finds that one of his dearest childhood girlfriends had died not long after his departure, and the widower envisions a relationship with none other than her daughter, who he senses to be her mother incarnate. (Summary by Roger Melin)

Subject: Loved it!
However, I cannot imagine falling in love with a person half my age.
Still, in all, it's a sweet story. I really enjoyed it. And Roger is a great reader - voice is perfect for this middle-aged, first-person story.
Subject: One star at best.
