In 1963, Neil Vincent, a middle-aged World War II veteran and “Christian atheist” is working at Westfield Court as a chauffeur. He is in an ongoing casual relationship, but doesn’t want a commitment, and he spends most of his spare time reading. Mary Claire DeWinter is a young, blind, Catholic college student who arrives at Westfield Court when her grandfather is dying. To her shock, he leaves the estate to her in his will. To secure her inheritance, she has to marry within a year, and her aunt pressures her to marry a rich man who teased and bullied her when she was a child. Neil tries to help her chart her own path, even though he will lose his job if she doesn’t marry. Neil and Mary Claire shouldn’t even be friends, but the gulf between them is bridged by a shared love of books. Can they cross the bridge to more?
