Sometimes first love lasts a lifetime...
For sixteen-year old Rory O'Connell, the girl next door sent his hormones running wild from the first time he looks into her baby blues.
The problem?
Barbara Jo Banks was a year older, and 1950s American high school protocol says girls don't date younger boys.
The other problem?
Her boyfriend, Billy.
No matter how close they get, she never sees him as more than a good friend. She has affection for him, but never to the level Rory craves.
His love remains unrequited. Attempts to win her over result in heartbreak, and the years go on.
But Rory never forgets Barbara Jo, no matter how his life changes.
Then the telephone rings.
