Produktbeschreibung

In a cramped New York City apartment, Cora Shipman's life revolved around the grand piano that dominated her modest living space. Though the instrument was an extravagance she could scarcely afford, it had come with the apartment, and she had taught herself to play with remarkable skill. However, lacking formal training, there were few opportunities for her talents to be appreciated beyond the confines of her four walls.

Yearning for a life where her musical gifts could truly flourish, Cora made the daring decision to seek her fortunes out West. She contacted a marriage broker, who matched her with James Holt, a wealthy widower and self-proclaimed music aficionado residing in a small California town. James' late wife had been an accomplished pianist, and the grand piano that graced his home stood as a bittersweet reminder of the melodies that once filled its halls before his wife died. When he learned of Cora's passion for the instrument, James was immediately smitten by the prospect of having a new bride who could reignite the joys of music he had so dearly missed.

With trepidation but buoyed by hope, Cora embarked on the long journey westward, leaving behind the noise and grit of the city for the promise of a new life amid the rolling hills of California's countryside. Upon her arrival, she was struck by the stately elegance of James' residence, a far cry from her humble New York abode. As she crossed the threshold, her gaze was immediately drawn to the magnificent grand piano that commanded the sitting room, its polished veneer glistening in the warm sunlight that streamed through the windows.

In those first moments, Cora's apprehensions melted away as her fingers danced across the ivory keys, filling the air with a rich tapestry of notes that seemed to breathe life into the once-silent room. James looked on in rapture, his eyes glistening with unshed tears as the melodies conjured cherished memories of his late wife's performances.

Autorenporträt

I was born in England, but have lived in Southern California for many years. I m now retired and live in the Pacific NW in a little seaside city amongst the giant redwoods and wonderful harbor, almost at the Oregon border. My husband and I have one cat, called Midnight and she is featured in two of my latest Sci-Fi short stories. I love Science Fiction, animals, and trying to help others. I publish under Doreen Milstead as well as my own name. My photo was taken right before the coronation of QE II in the UK.
