About the Book
With my heart still pounding and tears coming to my eyes, I smiled lovingly at Connor and replied, “Yes, Connor, yes! I love you too! I think I have always loved you!” More often separated during their adolescent years, the growing love and affection between Penny and Connor from middle school to early adulthood was destined to succeed! After marriage, Penny decides to drive their 1961 Renault Dauphine from Kansas City to Ft. Devens, Massachusetts, to be with her husband who is in training at the Army Security Agency. Little did she know the important role Dauphine would be taking on in Penny’s journey! Dauphine became a “real friend” that Penny depended on to get her to work during the cold winter in Massachusetts and again in Maryland at Ft. Meade. The journey creates many opportunities for Penny to become a more self-sufficient adult. She meets many wonderful people who favorably mold her perspective on life—a life enriched with many blessings! Penny appreciates the love of her family back home and how important they are to her and her husband. The two also learn to appreciate the Army families who share their helping nature without any need for reciprocity.
