I haven't read such a delightful love story in years. It takes place during a dark time in our history--the stock market crash of 1929. The main characters, Rose and Charlie, having lost their fathers because of the crash, must work hard to help their families during the difficult time.They meet and both of their lives are turned around. Charlie, who once was a famous artist in Manhattan, sells his paintings on the boardwalk. Rose, who comes from a wealthy family in Manhattan, cleans at a hotel. They meet on the boardwalk in Wildwood, New Jersey. Charlie is immediately drawn to her.They form a partnership, where Charlie's paintings are sold at Rose's house, which has become an art gallery. They make money not only for themselves but for the whole community.Charlie finds that he has to make a tough decision--whether to stay with Rose in New Jersey or take the new job offer from an art gallery in Manhattan.I recommend reading the book to see what happens.
