BASED ON A TRUE STORY. Chelsea Richards longed to find love - and at the tender age of twenty-seven, living a sheltered life in a southern town in the late 1970's, she wondered if she would ever really find love - a love that would last forever. On that warm autumn day, when she met Victor "Ski" Stanislowski - the man that would change the course of her life and destiny forever - nothing would ever be the same. After all, he was everything her domineering mother had warned her about--he was older, very wealthy and married to an alcoholic. From the shores of Pensacola Beach, to Orlando, New Orleans, San Diego and all the places in between, against all odds, they were determined to be together. And just when they thought they had conquered it all - their world came crashing down around them because sometimes - love lasts for a season.
