An excellent read!
Reminds us that that lasting relationships are hard, and necessitate difficult decisions, and that success and personal growth sometimes requires throwing off the safe cape of conventionalism. I highly recommend this book.

Captivating Story!
Captivating story set in the 1950s. I was immediately drawn into this story of a young woman setting out in life and the challenges women faced in a male-dominated field. It is also a beautiful love story about a woman and two men, one of which is her fiance. A lot of research went into this book about photography and music.

Great Climax, well done!
A well written romance that develops like film in a photo bath. Sampling a few pages I came upon four guys dancing with one gorgeous chick and in a sensuous mambo!! Then, a few pages to the left there was this incredible and humorous capture of a giant ten inch wolf spider!! I dove in and couldn’t stop as the story developed like negatives in a photo bath.
