Muriel looks after her brother Ralph and nephew Tommy following a family tragedy, but her daydreams of romance seem worlds away from the rough-around-the-edges truck driver who passes by at the same time each day. When Abe Burr's persistent attentions finally wear through her resistance, Muriel discovers there's far more to him than his brash exterior suggests.

Too Many Kisses

A high school senior leaves the graduation dance with plenty of admirers but only one on her mind: the infuriatingly smug Andy McKay, who seems convinced she's just collecting boyfriends. Determined to prove him wrong, Denise throws herself into a whirlwind summer of dating—from Rick Hall to Jeff Edmonds to the charming newcomer Bill Krueger—but each romance only deepens her confusion about what love actually means. When she boards a train to college hoping to leave it all behind, fate has one more reminder waiting in the seat beside her.
