Features: This is a novel that explores family and emotional issues. In a conservative small town, the 38-year-old Maggie spends her days busily engaged in trivial household chores, unable to breathe a single bit of freedom, yet she finds solace in this monotonous and quiet life, as the upcoming vacation adds a touch of color to the gray days. However, her domineering husband unilaterally decides to use the money to buy a plot of land for a grave, which awakens her to the reality; nearly two decades of marriage have long reduced her to a family caregiver, with a cold husband, mischievous children, and the ideal of life long gone. Just as she is in pain, a high school class reunion arrives, bringing along her first love as well. The love that ended in vain due to various obstacles and misunderstandings back then resurfaces, accompanied by pure American country music. The author uses delicate brushwork to depict a gentle and moving extramarital affair, seeking a cure for a love that has died.
