Hello, Agnieszka (Between Two Worlds Book 2)

Description

Elise thought she knew her mother. Agnieszka is a caring woman, a great cook, and an exceptional piano player, but living in a secure, predictable world, she’s also a little dull. Her world is devastated when her oldest son attempts suicide, and Elise finds her mother has a past she feels compelled to reveal to explain the tragedy. A past immersed in music. Shattered dreams. Betrayal of a sweet but tragic first love, second chances, and renewed hopes amidst the exciting, hopeful seventies.

Born to immigrant parents weighed down by their roots, Agnieszka takes solace in learning to play the piano, taught by a sympathetic grandaunt who was a concert pianist in Poland. But when her aunt betrays her and her parents cast her aside for violating their traditional values, can music sustain her? Can she, at eighteen, build a life on her own?

When she finally bares her soul to her children, Agnieszka hopes they can accept that she’s just as human, just as vulnerable as they are. But do her revelations alienate her husband; can they push Elise farther away from her?

Hello Agnieszka, Book 2 of the family saga Between Two Worlds, tells the tale of a mother’s youthful dreams, thwarted and renewed amidst the promise of the seventies.
