After precipitating an unfortunate accident, Mitch is sentenced to one month of community service, chatting twice weekly online with a woman in a local nursing home. Their conversations introduce two likable individuals; the woman helps Mitch apologize for his actions, and he, in turn, helps her accept her present circumstances. The e-mail format and rosy resolution create a nondemanding and pleasant read.
