A story of love.........past love, lost love, true love. March Murray fell in love when she was very young and thought it would be forever. Circumstances got in the way, of course, and Hollis leaves town. She waits for him for 3 years and never hears a word so she leaves the small Massachusetts town where they lived and goes to California, where she marries another past resident of the town, who has been waiting for her all this time. Neither of them return but Hollis has and has become the richest man in town. A death brings her back to town where they reconnect. But things - or people - have changed. Have they really? Or was their love always like this. Hollis is a man consumed with having but, when he gets what he was out for, does it satisfy him? And March finally gets what she always wanted but finds out she had it all along.
