Confession! I’m not a handbag person. But I carry this simple black bag that says “It’s a Good Day to Write” because of its sentimental value. It was a gift from a close friend who drove from Cincinnati to Louisville for my first book signing at Barnes and Noble. We’ve been friends since we were young professional dancers, and her love and support has meant so much to me.
Leisha never intended to fall in love with classical singing
or get involved with Cody Harrington—let alone risk her life trying to find her
missing teacher.
Leisha knows
something’s wrong. Her beloved vocal coach at boarding school would never have
resigned and disappeared like this in the midst of preparing her prize students
for a major vocal competition. Leisha’s determined to find her, make sure she’s
okay. Cody, a sensitive cellist, insists on helping her. Sparks fly, clues multiply,
and romance blossoms, despite the disapproval of their families.
Leisha’s
desire to be with Cody and pursue music rather than medicine puts her on a
direct collision course with her African American grandfather, the only parent
she’s ever known. But an even more immediate threat looms—because as Leisha
draws closer to the truth about her teacher’s disappearance, she puts her own
life in grave danger.

Hi, Lynn: regarding sentimentality--I gave away two bags the other day. One was similar to another; so that was okay. A friend gave me the second one and it was also similar to a larger bag I love; so it went as well.
I don't think I'm sentimental about bags, but I do tend to hold onto them until they're falling to pieces -- just in case I may need them.
LOL. Barbara. I've had some beloved treasures repaired--if possible.
I try to hold on to less and less, but it is hard when something has sentimental value. I’ve learned to take a photo of things and save those instead. It also helps knowing someone else can get use from an item I pass along.
Hi, Grace! Oh my, giving away sentimental things is so hard. Handsome asked me about a small sofa table in a closet. I said I wasn't ready to give it away. I just like it.
Hey Lynn,
Warm congratulations on the release of your newest book. And thanks for the shoutout, dear friend!
What fun to be on Vicki's blog and be able to honor my dear friend Connie Dow, the giver of the bag I carry everywhere with me!
