Synopsis

So . . . we all know Brandy's a fine girl, and what a good wife she would be, but who says (with a little luck, of course, and some lovely Irish charm) she couldn't steal the sailor from the sea? Surely there's more to the story than what we've been told. The locket is nice, as is the braided silver chain, but come on! There must be more to Brandy's life than serving whiskey and wine to drunken sailors while she impatiently waits for the man she loves to return to her port. Travel back in time with me as we explore Brandy's life. Who was she, really? Why did she continue to hold onto the hope of finding happiness with a man who has obviously rejected her? Why do any of us hold onto such hope when the odds are so clearly stacked against us? Is it because there's always that slight chance that our dreams may come true in the end, and the heartache will have been worth it? I believe that is precisely the reason! If you agree, let's explore Brandy's story more closely to discover what we might find. Take my hand . . . Do you hear the rushing water as it crashes into the shore? Do you feel the warm California sun as it softly kisses your face, and the light breeze as it tousles your hair? If so, you're on the right track and our journey has begun.
