The year is 1967 and Daunte Criest is on his way to Princeton to make a case for allowing female students into programs. The U.S. is in social rebellion due to the Vietnam War, the civil rights movement, and the Cold War, and the British Invasion, hardly a positive atmosphere for constructive change. Nonetheless, Daunte is very determined, and to all those, like Callie who he meets along the way, he seems to pursue a noble cause. In part it is, but it is a nobility that has an eerie beginning, and one to question and affirm along the way. Willow, his sister, is his incentive to travel from Fort Walton Beach to the prestigious campus in New Jersey, a journey she is unable to take and a weight that hangs heavy as he climbs the steps to the train.

That's where I saw her, just underneath the weeping willow. She sat with this solemn look on her face as she read this huge book. And that's when I just got confused, how could someone so beautiful look so sad? It never looked right to me, even when I was just so young. Now everyday she sits beneath that tree, for six years. It took me six years just to get the courage to just sit next to her, with the help of a little anger from my family. I unexpectedly befriended her that day, and afterwards, we ended up sitting next to each other almost everyday. Together we sat, right under the willow tree. Only to have it end almost too quickly.
