Happy Mother's Day to all of you mothers out there! I hope you have a great day, full of people you love.

Singing must bring a person
closer to God.
It was the only way Evangeline
Haywood could explain the joy that washed over her—no, through her—when the
music took her. Her parents didn’t exist. Neither did the looming marriage

Public House, nothing else existed, only the breath in her lungs and the song
in her bones. And it was heaven.
