Announcing my new book: Songbird of Culpeper County
Cornelia, a shy, eccentric country girl, in rural 1950s Virginia, is an unlikely operatic prodigy who shares a passion for music and much more with Jay, a struggling, young composer, anxious to escape his aristocratic background and the demands of his overbearing father. As their romance grows, Jay and Cornelia inspire each other to overcome obstacles in their paths to turn their respective dreams into reality. Can their love for one another survive the efforts of their very different families -- including threats and bribery -- to keep them apart?
