Twenty-seven-year-old Kara Larson is bogged down in the stress of
planning her elaborate wedding to a professional golfer. Still, to
fulfill the requirements of the Palmetto Pointe Junior Society, she
makes time in her busy schedule to visit an elderly woman at a
nursing home facility. Soon she finds herself mesmerized by the
singsong Irish lilt of ninety-six-year-old Maeve Mahoney as Maeve
recounts the rambling story of her first love back in Ireland. Or,
Kara begins to wonder, is she really retelling an ancient tale of
myth and legend? Waiting for the story to unfold in bits and
pieces, and trying to discern the underlying truth, Kara is drawn
in ? and driven to remember her own first love: childhood neighbor
Jack Sullivan. Gradually she realizes that before she embarks on
her new life, she must find out how her own story ? with Jack ?
will end?.
