What a wonderful and sweet story! Two shy people who have always felt alone and overlooked finally break out of their solitude and forge a tight bond together! The narration was very good but all the older men in this story seemed to have the same voice. The bank owner, the newspaper man, and the father, all sounded the same to me.
