Prate Marshbanks proposed to Irene on a muggy July night at Petes Drive-in back in 52. A college graduate and daughter of a prominent lawyer, Irene was an unlikely match for Prate, a housepainter. That their marriage not only survived for fifty years, but flourished, is a source of constant wonder to him. Now Prate faces a new challenge with his beloved Irene. Tommy Hays has rendered an unforgettable character in Prate, who, as he copes with his wifes illness, establishes new bonds with his widowed son and grandson. This is a heartfelt, redemptive story about the power and resilience of family.
