When The Drama Of Opera Becomes Your Next Novel Susan Dormady Eisenberg The Voice I Just Heard

It's 1970 and Nora Costello is a gifted young soprano who longs to sing on Broadway despite her parents' disapproval and her chronic stage fright. When her brother Liam dies in Vietnam, she spirals into grief, wondering how she'll embrace her goals without him who’s always been her cheerleader and 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.
