In the summer of 1955, Madison Lee "Bobo" Murphy was a waiter at the Catskells' Pine Hill Inn. A rural Southerner, he meets Avrum Feldman, a retired New York City furrier and they become unlikely friends. Bobo's one grand, undeniable moment of change occurs with his first glimpse of beautiful Amy Lourie. But the summer had to end for a wealthy Jewish girl and a Georgia farm boy. Nearly 40 years later, his children grown and his marriage comfortably routine, Bobo comes north once more. There Amy unexpectedly appears. The strikes against them are different now but mysteriously, miraculously, Bobo reawakens the dreams of a love larger than himself..... A love story that is intensely romantic.
