  <default_description>Pada suatu hari di bulan Juni, seorang wanita muda melangkah turun dari bus menuju Chicago, dan menampakkan kakinya di sebuah kota kecil. Ia tak berniat tinggal. Ia hanya singgah. Namun kedatangannya mempunyai maksud, dan itu terjalin dalam kisah yang takkan Anda lupakan.

Kisahnya mengambil latar belakang kehidupan tahun 1950-an, saat-saat nilai tradisional belum terkikis arus modernisasi, dan oran masih percaya pada &quot;mimpi&quot;, sementara boleh dikata merupakan segala-galanya. Lokasinya adalah kota kecil di Midwest, yang hanya mempunyai sekolah dan universitas, pusat perdagangan, kolam tempat bermain sepatu luncur, dan gedung bioskop. Di jantung Amerika itu, di keteduhan jalan yang di naungi pepohonan, peristiwa-peristiwa yang luar biasa mulai digelar. Sebuah keluarga bahagia hancur karena kematian mendadak seorang anak. Bahtera rumah tangga oleng diguncang prahara. Dan seorang asing datang - wanita muda yang akan memperngaruhi banyak hidup sebelum ia melanjutkan perjalanan. Ia dan seorang pemuda akan bertemu dan saling jatuh cinta. Cinta mereka, begitu suci dan penuh harapan, akan membantu memulihkan &quot;mimpi-mimpi&quot; sebuah keluarga. Dan hidup mereka semua akan berubah untuk selamanya karena hadiah terindah yang ditinggalkannya.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[OK, I will admit it. Danielle Steele is a bit predicatble. By the second chapter I had guessed at the ending; but reading the story and getting there was great. This is a total tear jerker.  I would love a follow up story to see what happens with Tommy and Maribeth in the future.    ]]></body>
