My Mother’s Friend

Take a first love, but make it forbidden. Stir in a small Iowa town, a world war, and a passion for music. Sprinkle it with deception, heartache, and loss, and let it simmer for decades.

The day after her seventeenth birthday, Phee, a gifted pianist, reluctantly tours the prisoner of war camp near her hometown. When she arrives at the camp theater, she discovers a beautiful baby grand piano and a handsome German POW playing Beethoven. That morning, an unforeseen friendship begins as the two of them find common ground in their love of music. Over the next year, their friendship strengthens, leading to unexpected adventures and life-altering decisions.
