She knows her late-husband's estranged stepbrother as \"the black sheep\" of his family. The handsome bandleader hoped to visit his younger brother before joining his former musicians in Smith's Cornet Band, a favorite of New York society before the war. Battle-weary from fighting on the Confederate side, Zach is certainly not looking to take on his brother's family. But Bella and her daughter tag along, buying a ticket on a steamboat north to the opulent Catskill Mountain House, where his band is booked for the summer season. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDetermined to keep out of Zach's way, Bella is hired as a hotel maid, struggling to care for her daughter despite her grueling schedule and a tyrannical boss. The hotel manager, meanwhile, pressures Zach to update the band's image and hire a female singer in the style of the popular Swedish Nightingale. It's only when Zach overhears Bella singing a lullaby to her daughter that he realizes her clear soprano voice and good looks could be the answer to both their problems. A sweeping saga of passions and new ambitions at the beginnings of the Gilded Age in old New York.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Debra Scacciaferro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798886530414\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Satin Romance\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/25\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.69d","brand":"Debra Scacciaferro","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48800983122175,"sku":"9798886530414","price":16.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/american-nightingale-debra-scacciaferro-9798886530414","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
