Reunited
Middle school was tough on Clarence Black. His bullies made life feel impossible, and all he wanted to do was retreat into his favorite books. Then, of course, there was Ruby. Despite his best efforts, the girl of his dreams was always just out of reach—but never far from his mind. After high school, Clarence attends college to study journalism, with the dream of becoming an author. There he meets Monica, and soon they are married with a daughter on the way.

Clarence begins a downward spiral, withdrawing into himself and losing sight of his goals. That is, until Ruby comes back into his life and changes everything.
The 1993 Canadiens
Never to be confused with any previous Montreal Canadien “Flying Frenchmen” juggernauts who dominated the NHL between the 1950s and 1970s, the 1992-93 Canadiens, whose lone superstar was future Hall-of-Fame goaltender Patrick Roy, were essentially a nondescript team coming off an embarrassing second-round playoff series sweep against the Boston Bruins the previous spring.
