From happenings in operas, theatre, rehearsals, concert tours and life in general, she leads us back and forth through time to re-experience moments in her life that left a lasting impression. From the endearing (\"The Gold Charm,\" \"Bluebirds and Blackbirds\") to the absurd (\"The Dog Ate My Homework,\" \"Instrument Malfunctions,\" \"Dear Sears: I Am Still Alive\") to the poignant (\"Medicine and Miracles,\" \"Poland,\" \"Chrysalis\"), readers will find stories that could well be the basis for fiction, but are all too true. \u003cp\u003e In a chatty, conversational style, Dr. Carroll shares special times with her readers. Enter her world of music and theatre, of joy and sorrow, of life and death, of the unique and the mundane. Enjoy! \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e About the Author \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Lucy E.
