Overview

""A luminous novel of love, family, and faith..."" - Stephanie Cowell, Author of The Boy in the Rain and Claude & Camille ""Beautifully written with poignancy and humor, The Voice I Just Heard is colorful and romantic. The characters literally sing off the page."" - Louise Nayer, Author of Burned and Narrow Escapes What's the price of chasing a dream? It's 1970 and Nora Costello is a gifted young soprano who longs to sing on Broadway despite her parents' disapproval and chronic stage fright. When her brother Liam dies in Vietnam, she spirals into grief, wondering how she'll embrace her goals without her north star. At a summer theater near Cohoes, New York, Nora meets her soulmate, Bart Wheeler, a washed-up Broadway baritone with problems of his own-and great advice about singing. Nora also reunites with her best friend Liz, a troubled nun with secrets about Liam. As Nora struggles with family, romantic, and vocal issues, she wonders if she'll ever feel whole again. But when she finds a unique way to honor Liam's love for their hometown waterfall, she finally starts to heal. Both a coming-of-age-story and a tale of enduring love, The Voice I Just Heard offers characters to root for. It explores the most compelling voice of all: the whisper inside each of us that tells us to follow our hearts. The revised edition offers three new chapters, a new ending, and an original art song about the Cohoes Falls, written by renowned American composer Lori Laitman.
