Jonathan Hoffman and Annika Rose first meet at a Chess Club at the University of Illinois. Jonathan is at the university to start over from a bad experience at Northwestern. Annika is studying to be a librarian, is very introverted, shy and awkward with some autistic tendancies. Their meeting eventually evolves into a tender, loving relationship. Jonathan graduates and takes a job in NYC with the plan that Annika will follow after she graduates a year later. Unfortunately, fate is not kind to Annika as she finds herself in a crisis that she can't handle. She drops out of school and discontinues contact with Jonathan.
A decade later Jonathan and Annika bump into each other. They start to see each other informally. So much has changed and Jonathan realizes Annika has grown into a capable librarian living on her own. Their story takes us through the difficult road back to each other with some very significant bumps along the way - including the fateful September 11, 2001 twin towers tradedy.
