Synopsis: Rhapsody In Blue

" . . . a small fragile girl of dreams stood before the entrance to the music store, a tattered periodical in her hands . . . music had always been her first love."

Just on the brink of adulthood, Nanessa Scott, like most any young person, searches for happiness and meaning in a fast-paced and tumoltuous culture. Rhapsody In Blue is the story of a American teen's thoughts and outlooks on society; it's the story of a young artist's struggles with dreams, life, and philosophy as she weaves through a web of experience, telling us story that so well reflects the Gershwin piece from which it receives its title...

The author, L. Roberts, draws from personal experience as well as musical study, history, and thoughts on culture to create (what hopefully will be) a thoughtful work of art-literature that will leave readers pondering a few new thoughts and opening up some new ideas as well as some old ones.
