As a sequel to \u003cem\u003eA Gift of Dreams\u003c\/em\u003e, this is the story of my attempt to make sense of life during the disrupted decade that followed my boyhood in a contented traditional New England village. I recount meeting studious, serious-minded Karen Sandstrom, our discovery that we shared just about every opinion in life that mattered, and our student marriage. We were convinced our mutual support would enable us to accomplish more good things in the world than we might have managed on our own. We did not understand that questions we had not yet learned to ask and the emotional baggage we believed we'd each discarded were going to make our life together rougher, steeper and more perilous than the lives we'd traveled alone. When we met, Karen was studying to become a Registered Nurse; I was about to return to college to qualify as a public school teacher. In the end we achieved our goals, but our life together was frighteningly different from the one we'd dreamed of sharing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-From the back cover.\u003c\/p\u003e"}
