In this novel, a man and a woman from different yet equally inconsequential small towns meet while attending college. Together they pursue their dreams of travel to and living in metropolitan communities filled with adventure and diverse experiences. Their careers take them to a big city where they reside for nearly three decades. Satisfaction with professional achievements eventually gives way to a challenging search for a living environment that combines the best of the two extremes they have known.

Will that idyllic village be found in the U.S.? in Canada? or not at all?
