A touching letter of a dead father to his son, on living, on falling in love, and in keeping a sense of wonder about one's self in even the most mundane. Starts out as a mystery to be unravelled of an Orange Girl (a girl who his father meets in his youth, yes, carrying a bag of oranges) ... you wonder who she is .. until you realize that this actually the re-telling of the boy's parent's love story.
