With enough credibility to make the townspeople curious, soon the former teachers, nurses, and shopkeepers of Deerfield are abruptly changing course to pursue their destinies as magicians, cowboys, and athletes. Douglas Hubbard and his wife, Cherilyn, both believed they were perfectly happy until they realized they could dream for more.
