The Best Summer - UBETCHA

The leaves of autumn will soon bedeck the "hills of home" in glorious color as two beautiful and talented teens return to go to College in West Virginia after a three month "working vacation" in the Pacific Northwest. Their talents have been rewarded beyond their wildest dreams, and their pursuit of love and happiness may have also been rewarded.



Alpha Lee is an artist, who finds phenomenal success selling her lovely creations in charcoal and oils; and enjoys designing and sewing creative costumes for her classmate Susan, a singer of ballads and popular love songs, with a marvelous voice and stage presence; but with an indescribable history of abuse that has led to the incarceration of her molester; and a visible and seemingly eternal personality impairment.



Janus, (a high school friend) who worked during summers in the coal mines at an early age and has a history of working with large mechanical beasts; is a lonely soldier working in the motor pool and teaching others how to drive huge "tank-hauling" tractor-trailer rigs -- has provided shelter and safety in a rustic cottage he is renting - but he will not be staying back east after a short visit with his parents - his part-time job off-base has led to a full-time offer with college tuition benefits after his discharge in August. His army duties and workplace friends also add color and excitement to their summer.
