Under the Willow Tree

In 1940’s Manhattan, Jessie and Matt sat under the willow tree in Central Park. A refuge from daily life, they had spent many long hours beneath its boughs. When Matt learns Jessie will soon be moving away, he invites her to meet him one last time at the willow tree, but Jessie never came. Little did she know just what happened that night, or what she left behind. It wouldn’t be until many years later when she discovered the true magic of that place and what happened to her childhood love.
