Tom Oliver, businessman, in the 1970's, is ready for a change. After some research by his assistant Mike, he and his dog Chester get in his old truck, Lillie Belle, and head west. He arrives in the little town of Hope and finds not much happening. Tom meets some of the townspeople and decides to stay. Soon after his arrival changes seem to start taking place in Hope. As a teacher, lifelong learner, gardener, artist, and mother who raised six children, I always wanted to write. I never had time because 'Life' got in the way. I now have the time.
