Annie spends every summer visiting with her grandmother, Mimi, on Nantucket Island. Her experience begins as she disembarks the Nantucket ferry and breathes in the island roses. She describes each experience with the magical vision of a child. Going to the beach, walks to the center of town and helping her grandmother with the daily chores are special to her. As an adult, she reflects on these experiences and finds comfort in reliving those precious memories.
