Free Excerpt From The Book (requires Adobe Reader) Jim Mahoney, divorced, falls in love with a beautiful brown woman, Ruth Morisong, Brooklyn's best and livliest. Set in Manhattan's fast-paced Eighties, Yo Columbia! tells the story of a stormy courtship between an older guy and a young, live wire.A sub-theme follows Jim's quest to find the music from Scott Joplin's lost opera only to discover the spirit of the father he lost in childhood. The lovers also uncover the historical black beauty that was the model for many of our national representations of America. Another theme tracks the history of American classical music. Retaining characters like the Wizard from previous Columbiad novels - Eagles Rising and First Lights - the story is set against the rousing magazine business and chronicles Ruth's challenge to succeed in the cutthroat New York marketplace.
