The Orange Blossom Special

Maybe Tessie couldn't help but hope that by following in the tracks of the Orange Blossom Special-- the first passenger train to connect New York to Miami-- she and her daughter Dinah would find a kinder climate and a new beginning. The year was 1958 and the young widow could tell just by looking in her daughter's vacant eyes that a change was called for, indeed necessary. Besides, returning to the spot where she and Jerry had spent their honeymoon might keep him close to her, even if just in spirit.
