Brett goes on a joureny as recommended to help him by the girl's mother to recover and get past the guilt that he feels.  She wants him to make four whirligigs and place her daughter's face upon them and place them at four corners in America. 


Brent makes the journey and along the way makes discoveries about himself and other people.  He becomes more mature and self-satisfied.  He is also able to obtain healing.
