Peter Short is a Northwestern University graduate student in the
mid-1960s. He is bright but not worldly when he meets the beautiful
Sallie Barnes, a performer in the Ice Follies. Peter meets Sallie in a
Chicago bar in the fall of 1965. He visits her in Buffalo over
Thanksgiving, and she spends Christmas with Peter and his family. When
he lands a summer job, Peter heads to San Francisco, where the Ice
Follies prepare for the new roadshow to start in the fall. Sallie
exhibits subtle signs of emotional instability along the way. However,
Peter’s untrained eye does not perceive the true nature of the driving
forces behind her erratic behavior. At times they seem headed for a
long-term relationship, but something always happens that blows their
bond apart. Along the way, Peter has interesting encounters with a
handful of other women and renews an old friendship with his roommate
from undergraduate school who now lives in California. His up and down
relationship with Sallie continues as he pursues her across the
country. Peter grows up fast as his life becomes all about a woman—and
a heap of worries.
