Soon his tranquil existence is broken open by--a dream, a vision, a sign?--a beautiful woman he is sure is his beloved. Logic and sense tucked safely out of harm's way, Danny launches a quest to find his true love. Always good-natured, he is a hero on a journey--dreaming impossible dreams and, no matter how much he must suffer, pursuing romance and heavenly glory.
