Overture by Vanessa Couchman
What
if you had a unique talent, but everything conspired against your
dreams?
France,
1897. Born to a modest farming family, Marie-Thérèse has a
remarkable singing voice and wants to become a professional singer.
But too many obstacles, including her parents' opposition, stand in
her way. And, through no fault of her own, she makes a dangerous
enemy of the local landlord.
When
the family circumstances change suddenly, Marie-Thérèse and her
mother must move to Paris to work in her aunt's restaurant. Her
ambitions rekindle, but the road to success is paved with setbacks
until a chance meeting gives her a precious opportunity.
She
is close to achieving all her dreams, but the ghosts of the past come
back to haunt her and threaten Marie-Thérèse's life as well as her
career.
