Summary
Kentucky, the late 1960s. Misfits Ann and Jimmy dive headfirst into what seems to be a perfect relationship. But with the Vietnam War looming and the country in turmoil, their future is vague and uncertain, and commitment even more so, and life's hardships prove too much for the young couple to endure. Ann recalls this time of innocence -- and her own obsession with Jimmy -- many years later, as she faces a different crisis. Seeking escape, she tries to imagine the road not taken. What if she had gone to Stanford University, as her mentor had urged, instead of a small school on the East Coast? Would she have been caught up in the Summer of Love and its subsequent dark turns? Or would her own reticence and good sense have saved her from disaster?
