Synopsis

Music from Both Sides of the Moon will take you from the swampy backwaters of Lake Fausse, Louisiana; to the steamy tent shows of 'Professor Crady's Traveling Show of Oddities and Prodigies'; to the smokey jazz clubs of New Orleans in the 1940's; and to the Pacific Theater during WW II through the eyes of a Navy nurse held POW by the Japanese on the island of Corregidor. On the way, you will meet a cast of characters that you will fall in love with, root for, laugh with and cry for - people so vivid and rich that they will become lasting members of your literary family.

"A good plot is often forgotten. A good character...never." John Jakes
