And Both Shall Row

Kenny and Colleen meet on a mountain lake as teenagers. They awaken intense energies in each other-both positive and negative-until the mix explodes, leaving both of them in a sorry state. But they find that what’s between them-whatever it is-stays with them as the years progress, and that the memory of those days at the lake doesn’t fade but keeps making demands on their understanding. This is a story, spanning 25 years and two continents, of life, love, time, change, and the irresistible power of an unforgettable, formative experience in the past.
