A tale from two different sides of a coin about how our differences can sometimes bring us closer.
When a cranky old ranch woman is trapped in a storm cellar with an escaped convict during a Texas tornado, sparks begin to fly as they banter back and forth about their different lifestyles and ideas on humanity. She is caucasian and he is African American, both from totally different worlds, they discover they have much more in common than they knew. Funny and sad, the tale is a discovery in humanity.

It was the one enduring dream she would not be denied.

She had budgeted for everything - the plane and train tickets, lodging, food, and shopping for a wardrobe in boutiques she had never been privy to, except in Glamour or Vogue.
She might have been a rancher, somewhat worn down by the toils of life, but inside she was still a woman…a woman who had a taste and an appreciation for the finer things in life. This trip would be the realization of her dreams - those finer things in life she felt she deserved, and she would not be denied.
