Produktbeschreibung
Debbie, an agoraphobic, and pushing the limits of middle age, works at home as a beautician and is estranged from her daughter, Wendy, who plays for the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra as a cellist. When Debbie discovers Wendy will perform a solo at Carnegie Hall, NYC, she suffers in silence until Wendy finally arrives and divulges a secret that devastates her. Now, Debbie feels she must go to Carnegie Hall to see Wendy play. But how will she manage that, because on a good day she has trouble negotiating 30 paces to get the mail. Maybe her two employee-girlfriends, Patricia and Katherine, will help her? These three ladies struggle through their growing pains at an age when most people spend their time reminiscing about life and missed opportunities. And with Wendy in the mix, this eclectic ensemble allow us to laugh and cry while making us believe we are never too old to dream and never too young to forgive.
Autorenporträt
After Robert retired early from AT&T in 1998, he followed the sage advice of two writing gurus in the narrative style of writing. Using that advice he composed 12 screenplays, 11 novellas, 4 novels, 4 stage plays and 2 creative non-fiction books. To determine whether he was following the right path he sent some of the manuscripts into writing contests and came in the top 3 spots 102 times. He won 57 contests and came in finalist or better in over 230 of them in contests such as Fade In Magazine, Breckenridge, Telluride, Garden State and Yosemite Film festivals. He taught adult education at Northampton Community College in screenwriting since retiring, and was Temple University screenplay judge for their Senior Project class (Freese Award).
