A view down Baltimore Street in Hanover, Pennsylvania, with red brick houses, white picket fences, and shade trees along a residential block. A person sits on the curb in the foreground, and the printed greeting "Greetings from Hanover Pa." arcs across the sky. The message catches a traveler at a layover: Grace has reached Hanover, bought a book to read while she waits, and writes to her mother in Seven Stars.
