In this very small, agricultural town of Spring Grove, located in California's central valley and populated primarily with first-generation survivors (commonly called by the pejorative, Okie) of the tragic Midwest Dust Bowl of the 1930s, no one anticipated that mentally challenged Pearle Blinky could wash dishes at The Merry-Go-Round restaurant, let alone learn to read. No one in that same small town anticipated the return of juvenile delinquent Cecil Roach, now a severely injured and decorated WWll veteran. No one anticipated that as they worked together in the kitchen of The Merry-Go-Round restaurant a relationship might develop as small minds and gossips fed on assumptions and the what ifs.
Jim and Morty Bannister didn't anticipate Cecil's return as they waited for the day they could avenge the beating he gave them with a pool cue in the bar attached to The Merry-Go-Round.
Cecil's and Pearle's unlikely relationship came about slowly and warmly, day by day, week by week.
And then Jim walked into The Merry-Go-Round's kitchen.
It is an unexpected love story alive with unforeseen events that leave the reader wondering how the unexpected can change a life.
