In 2010 a reoccurring dream about Taylor Swift sends Rush Whitacre down the path of trying to answer her question from his dream, "Color, Which Color". Along the way in recording his history Rush finds solace in his writing while both his parents nearly die, his education crumbles beneath him, and his only home disappears before his eyes as he is ever pushed in the direction of moving to New York to find his place in the universe. There are 365 letters and 365 poems. In Rush’s words, "You may find yourself in my pages, my poems, and sometimes wrapped up inside my arms crying with me as I did upon my work countless times."
