Spotlight and Giveaway: The Voice I Just Heard

Today we are pleased to feature The Voice I Just Heard by Susan Dormady Eisenberg. This is her debut novel, but she recently had it revised and is re-releasing it a couple years after her sophomore novel, One More Seat at the Round Table. Melissa enjoyed this novel and featured it on her Bookstagram this past autumn. She will be reviewing it soon. Thanks to Get Red PR, we have THREE copies to give away!

What's the price of chasing a dream?

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

Both a coming-of-age-story and a tale of enduring love, The Voice I Just Heard offers characters to root for. It explores the most compelling voice of all: the whisper inside each of us that tells us to follow our hearts. (Synopsis courtesy of Amazon.)
