To survive, she had to find a way to pay the bills, overcome a crippling case of stage fright, fend off a series of unsuitable men, and most important, find a reliable babysitter. Alternating with Carolynʹs story are the stories of her ancestors and mentors--five musically gifted women who struggled to realize their dreams at the turn of the twentieth century: Philippa Schuyler; Marjory Jackson; Lilly Pruett; Ruth Lipscomb; and Alberta Sweeney"--Publisher description.
