The Martha Odyssey

The campus is full of ghosts, they say. But are Beatrice's demons from the past or the present? It's 1915 and young Beatrice Damron burns to become a professional classical pianist. She leaves behind her meager mountain home and enters Martha Washington College to study at its well-regarded music conservatory, unaware of what lies in wait for her there. Thrilled to exhibit her prowess with Beethoven and Brahms, she wows students and professors alike. Yet a menacing presence lurks that bedevils her. Beatrice seeks solace beyond the college halls and discovers a simpler world with Jonah, the town outcast. Captivated with this newfound joy, she begins to lead two separate lives. But when tragedy strikes, her two worlds collide with life-threatening consequences-and Jonah is at the center of it all. To avert further disaster, Beatrice must take dangerous risks that may cost her everything.
