Can she have it all--or does she have to choose?
And when you choose between two things you love
Must one be forever lose?
It is the dazzling decade, the 1920’s, and a beautiful young singer is torn between her fierce desire for independence--to create something of her own, for meaning and purpose--and a deep abiding love for her husband, a medical missionary who will become royal physician to the court of Siam. Based on a true story, one young woman will travel from Philadelphia of the Roaring Twenties to the jungles of the Orient, to pre-war Paris and Rome, in the struggle to find her place in the world.

“This rich, enveloping novel draws the reader in and won’t let go. For an all too brief time readers will find themselves living in another time, another place. Like Harvey’s healing medicine, Barbara’s inspiring music, this fiction is a kind of gift as well.” Susan Larson. Book Editor, New Orleans Times Picayune.
“…deeply moving…” Romantic Times - Four Stars
“Rich and heartfelt…” Publishers Weekly
“You will have to read this one to see just how far one sometimes has to go to discover what it really is that they want in life, what will make them feel complete. A MUST READ!” --Beyond Her Book Blog--PublishersWeekly.com.
“A thought provoking enjoyable story, difficult to put down. Highly recommended.” Editor’s Choice: Historical Novels Review. Historical Novel Society.
