WHEN LOVE WALKS IN IS AN UPDATE OF THE SLEEPING BEAUTY STORY TOLD BY THE ROUSED PRINCESS.
One September evening at a party Cecilia (CC) Harp finds herself jolted awake wanting more than just a kiss from her improbable prince. The instant she lays eyes on Neil Riley she's transformed from a young businesswoman uninterested in sex into a smitten lover-only to discover over dinner that while Riley is the man she's always wanted he's not about to start an affair. To stay out of the Vietnam draft he's left law school and taken a job teaching in a Harlem elementary school. The job consumes him. Two months later, at Thanksgiving, they arrange a second date. They are not prepared for the passionate kiss that envelops them when they meet. Though almost strangers, they seem to be rekindling a lost love. To understand the fierce power of their involvement CC revisits in her journal a trip they take to Riley's hometown where they encounter again and again the unruly issues of love. Questions regarding commitment, trust, fidelity, jealousy, conflicting needs, past traumas, all assail them. Yet crucial to her story is CC's giddy appreciation of the complete experience.
