A 34-year-old man named Jim has a pattern of failed engagements, and he's convinced that showering his girlfriends with expensive gifts—flowers, fancy dinners, premium theater tickets—is the path to marriage. When he meets Caroline at a summer resort and falls hard, he repeats the same costly courting ritual, eventually proposing with a diamond ring. But Caroline breaks their engagement, telling him he's focused on the wrong things, and Jim is left wondering once again what he's done wrong. This is a story about a man learning—or struggling to learn—that love can't be bought at a jewelry store.

This 1950 romance explores what it means to choose between ambition and the heart, set against the backdrop of a high-stakes construction battle.
