The duo's story is about being true to one's love and one's dreams, and letting God use the talents He gives each of us. They expertly incorporate the history of the Mississippi showboat era with the origins of the Pinkerton detective agency while giving us a solid romance infused with mystery set atop a strong spiritual message.

For readers that have an interest in the theater, the novel will not disappoint. The pages are filled with descriptions of sets, costumes, rehearsals and an occasional Shakespearean quote.
