Free Excerpt From The Book (requires Adobe Acrobat Reader) Justina and Michael are a couple teaching at a New Hampshire college and enjoying their lives with their friends, wise-cracking Charles and nosy, well-meaning Pascale. While Justina reads the bawdy poetry of François Villon to her class, Michael and his chorus prepare Orff's Carmina Burana. Grace, their student, lives a wild life that threatens to destroy her stunning potential as a singer. Into this delicate balance bursts Teresa, romancing Michael with memories of their youthful love and his old dream of operatic greatness. She brings a surprise that delights no one, but inspires Michael to renounce everyone. Except her. Songs from Carmina find an echo in Justina, Michael and Grace's struggle to give imperfect, human voice to the perfection they feel in their hearts.
