The only problem...she lived 70 years ago. Rachel Anne Praline is a world-renowned singer from the 1920s who, despite her fame, is faced with one tragedy after the next. Follow along as the tragically charmed story of Rachel Anne Praline unfolds. Will she overcome the overwhelming odds of love, loss, abuse, the Great Depression, and two world wars? Will Bobby's love for this intangible girl torture him forever, or will it free him to find new love and a newfound meaning for life? This dual-time, episodic historical romance can, all at once, revive our spirits and sever them as it explores the depths of true love and unconditional friendship.
