About the book:
Sometimes heroism is found in dreams deferred.
Charlotte, NC. 1918. Broadway darling Calla Connolly had it all: a flourishing career on the stage and a loving fiancé, a fellow stage actor. But after his tragic death early in the war, Calla is touring the American Army training camps, hoping to convince General Pershing to let her tour the French front to cheer the men and honor her fiancé`s memory. But her hopes are dashed when she contracts Spanish flu while performing at Camp Greene.
While convalescing, Calla inadvertently overhears a sensitive Army secret and is ordered to remain at Camp Greene for the duration of the war while her former mentor and rival steals her tour out from under her. Having no choice but to stay at the camp, she becomes the resident performer and forms attachments to several musician soldiers.
When she falls in love with the man responsible for trapping her at camp, the mission she`s sworn to keep secret threatens the men she`s come to care for. Calla is forced to decide what her dreams are worth--and if the future she never expected might only be possible if she lets those dreams go.
Roughly inspired by the woman whose WW1 tours encouraged the establishment of the USO in WWII, The Star of Camp Greene is a moving tale of heroism and the strength it takes to find your voice and use it for others.
Reading is maybe the most personal experience we can have as individuals, except for our own dreaming. I know the author is only a part of a reader’s dreaming but I’m glad when the stories I’ve written allow for that experience in another person’s life. My books won’t be a favorite for all, but I love when they are a favorite for one. I like to imagine the moment the book closes and wonder what readers feel and think in that hushed instant when they step out of the story and meet themselves again, wide-eyed.
