In 1960, Sister Mary James prepares for another year at St. Catherine’s School, where her classroom remains a nostalgic echo of her own childhood. Among her new students is Eddie Alvarez, a curious boy whose fascination with a world map sparks unexpected questions. As Eddie traces the continents with his finger, he wonders aloud if they once fit together, challenging Sister Mary James to reconsider her understanding of the world. This thought-provoking tale explores the intersection of faith, science, and the power of a young mind to inspire change.
