Close to You It was the summer of 1970, and Alex Ryerson had just graduated from High School, and publicly been dumped by her longtime boyfriend Jerry Stevens at her graduation party. Instead of wallowing in self pity, she goes on a scheduled trip up Lucky Acres Ranch with her Grandmother, her sister Gina and Kate Donnley. Chided by her Grandmother and sister, Alex ceremoniously drops the ash-cloth and ashes routine and vows to enjoy this vacation. Everything at the ranch is familiar, and the girls are treated more like family than guests. Even pitching in to help with setting up for Sunday Dinner. Alex thinks her life is starting to get back to normal when she runs into Clint Webber, who six years earlier had dunked her in a trough. Clint isn't they way she remembers him, Alex discovers he's someone she'd like to be close to.
