Only seven years have passed since Rose Sheffield
was a carefree college student, though it seems like a lifetime ago. Her father’s
position at a major bank provided her with luxuries she took for granted. Now
she works at menial jobs to support herself and her mother, and they live in
what used to be their vacation home in Wildwood, New Jersey. Rose’s days are
pure drudgery, until she meets Charlie. As luck would have it, she just happens
to have the perfect place to display his artwork.
Before
the Great Stock market crash of 1929, Charlie Brannigan was hailed as an up and
coming artist in Manhattan. But now he’s back at his family home in Wildwood,
delivering newspapers in the mornings and selling his paintings on the
Boardwalk in the afternoons. He needs some luck in his life, and it seems every
time a pretty lady named Rose appears, good things happen.
