A bee stings Enola Tyrwhitt's foot. The dashing Drew Morrigan tenderly carries her to safety. And a flash in the heavens celebrates the spark of true love below, the magic of two soulmates finding one another.Or perhaps a summer storm is on the way But, never mind. Love is everywhere, and there is much to do in the three months before Enola's Wedding.
Two friends are drawn into a mystery of love and murder from a past they cannot know; a boy clumsily carries a broken heart through a day of parades; a woman exacts a daily revenge for a suspected crime from a husband long since gone; and love gleefully appears out of nowhere on a wet afternoon, on Gay Street.Gay Street. In these fourteen stories, a Northern writer documents, teases and exalts the lives walking or pausing on this Southern, and very real, avenue in Knoxville, Tennessee.
