The Soldier’s Ride Inspiration from Desperation

Description

Summary

A harried career woman is forced to pull her car into a peaceful veterans’ cemetery when she has mechanical trouble. After calling for help, she decides to leave the hot car and sit on a bench beneath a shade tree overlooking the neat row of crosses. As she waits impatiently, fiddling with her PDA and laptop computer, she hardly notices an elderly woman who comes from nowhere to sit beside her. The old woman, ignoring the businesswoman’s lack of interest, proceeds to tell her what turns out to be an amazing story about one of the people buried nearby. Mysteriously, a second storyteller, in the form of an elderly gentleman, appears and reveals the inspiring ending to the old woman’s tale. Now captivated by the story, the woman receives a final revelation when a young soldier appears. This third storyteller shows the busy executive that her stop at the soldiers’ cemetery that day and her encounter with the three “angels” are no mere coincidences.
