The Summer of '69. A summer when it all came together... and when a lot of things came apart. A summer of small steps and giant leaps... or beginnings and endings... of change. For Theresa McKinley, Julia Bancroft, Jillian Adams, Alan Madison, Abby Waterstone, Reggie Moore, and other characters from the Fate, Chance, and Choices trilogy and related works, it was a summer in which a lot happened, in which they connected to each other and what was going on in the world around them.
