 Altar
Music: A Novel 
The
psychological maturing and the spiritual journey of
a human is from the core outward. In the imagery of
music, the child learns first to sing a simple note
. . . then a melody follows, then the heart expands
the melody into a harmony–becoming a theme,
growing from theme to a song and a song to a
symphony. Not only every woman, but every one, male
or female can identify with the pain, joy and hunger
for understanding, the search for Love and need to
Love told in ALTAR MUSIC.
Elise, the
culmination of three generations of women living in
Minnesota, follows her family history of women
killing their passions to protect their souls.
But in Elise, the core note is strong and it
sustains her through the darkness of almost losing
herself. Within her story, and in the stories of her
mother and grandmother, I found a theme affirming my
own humanity. ALTAR MUSIC is the literary symphony
of a truly gifted soul. Review

Directed by Steven
Spielberg, this is a wonderful film that I have
watched many times. Every time brings a new meaning
and is a testimonial to the strength of a woman's
spirit. FYI: Whoopi Goldberg was introduced to us in
this film. Review
