Jack's Passion

Had he been heir to a throne Jack Conroy could not have felt the weight of expectation more. Hell go to Wall Street just as his father did but two things complicate the family plan. First Jack discovers an affinity for landscape design. Second he discovers Veronica Cashmiris. Jacks parents assume that Veronica is just a college infatuation that will yield to Wall Street after graduation. However Veronica is no passing fancy. She loves and understands Jack perhaps better than his parents do. The intuition of Veronica and inclination of Jack give way to the world-wise wisdom of Jacks parents. But what happens to Jack turns all hopes for his future into a kind of haunting reverie. It is not until Veronica gives birth to their son that hope returns.
