Set in the Eisenhower era, Lynda Lee Rogers, a former beauty pageant queen, seems to have an idyllic life, but in reality she struggles with debilitating headaches and depression, only finding solace in pain pills which evoke vivid dreams of enchanted lands where an ancient Irish weaver provides the wisdom and relief her real life can not; offering an exploration into women's eternal quest for inner peace and happiness while caring for their families, delving into themes of mental health, empathy, authenticity, and the search for identity.

It is harvest season in St. Hilaire, and for those who take their living from the land, it should be a joyous time. But in the fall of 1943, there is no joy in France. Paris has fallen, the Vichy government is collaborating with the Germans, and the Gestapo roam the countryside, conscripting French men to toil in faraway German factories. For Sister Gabrielle, a novice in the local convent, the occupation tries her faith as nothing has before. But she is about to get an opportunity to stand up to evil in a way that few of her countrymen have dared.

A 45-year-old Black man. A 24-year-old white man. Both writers. One a teacher; the other his student.

After each session they were moved to exchange letters about basketball and so much more.
