If only we could see...
***Dustbowl Colorado 1930s. At 26, Paul had ridden the rails in search of work for years and now has returned to his hometown in Lamar. There he meets Ruby,14, whose innocence bolsters his confidence. Because she sees him as more than the alcohol abuser man of many get rich dreams, she marries him and begins writing a journal that spans over 40 years.
This is the fictionalized story of that remarkable journal. From Depression Era Colorado through the California aviation industrialization boom of WW2 to new beginnings in Arkansas, the story follows the tumultuous lives of two mismatched people as they struggle to see each other and the rapidly changing world as they really are, and not through the clouded lens of ego, abuse and domination.
Ultimately, this is a story of faithfulness when it is not warranted, courage when it is not expected and redemption through perseverance. It will not disappoint.
