This is a love story filled with humor and foreboding. It is a story of our time when the illusion of enduring peace and prosperity was possible. Journey with a youth flowering in the 60's as he becomes a doctor in a tiny town on the north California coast. Here he must confront the limits of mortality while he continues to mature as a man and a poet. This is a story of our time and the descent into a vision of a lost America. It is a reminder that regardless of the depths of sorrow, the hope of Spring can emerge in our souls.
