Dancer is known for pitching a perfect game. He had two sons Clayton and Jim. Jim is the largest GM dealer in Southern Missouri. Interestingly, Jim's wife Paula once had a close relationship with Clayton.
Ted Landis, a wealthy developer, now owns the home where Dancer had been staying. Dancer is walking downstream to visit two women, Phoebe and Lucy. They live in the ramshackle cottage and are refusing to sell their property to Landis.
At the cottage, Dancer meets Wayne Mesirow who recently returned from a National Guard tour in Iraq. Wayne will help Dancer deliver JukeBoxes to Landis. Oddly enough, we learn Wayne's wife is having an affair with Landis, while Wayne is trying to come to terms with the suicide of his buddy, Sonny.
I was captivated by the eerily quiet prologue. There are many tragic connections in this skillfully written storyline and the observable similarities between Dancer and Wayne evoke multiple senses.
In one day, we learn it is the hottest summer in years. The people in Maple Springs Missouri have secret relationships and are grieving a loss in one way or another.
We see flashbacks and life-changing incidents that afford us the opportunity to recognize we all are created to interact and support one another. And, like an impending tornado, we often leave a cloud of debris behind and are in need of rescue. Yes. Everyone dies famous.
