As children, Rick Giles and Abby Gerwitz planted romantic seeds that would unexpectedly blossom later in their lives – a story told in the novel Pressed Pennies. In this novelette featuring the characters from Pressed Pennies, after a magical summer Abby and the neighborhood gang receive some very bad news. Richard’s dad has accepted a new job and the Giles family is moving away. Abby is devastated because she’s losing the person who might be more important to her at this stage in her life than anyone else. As a final gift to Richard’s friends, Jim Giles takes the kids to Lincoln Park, an amusement park that hosts a day of unforgettable memories. The experiences they share there will resonate deep into their lives.
