'IN A TOWN IN THE NORTH A LIGHT SHONE
AND THAT LIGHT WAS MY BONNIE VALENTINE'
An unexpected protegee of the vioin, little Bonnie Valentine was destined for the top. In her dreams lay the bright lights of adoration, together with the Mecca of musical study, The Royal Acadamy of music, London. But she told no one; no one about the lumps beaneath her skin, the blood on the tongue, or that her time, on earth, was complete!
Her father, Vincent, did all he could with all he had, but with a drunken wayward wife, a crippling recession, and no food, gas nor electricity, and a love he lost back in'76, jarring his every waking moment, he would make a move; it was a move into the seedy world of escorts, male escorts. But who'd want to date a man with a fat gut and glassy eyes?
In this tender-loving story, one man discovers a new world; a world of Beethoven and Strauss, Debussy and Mozart, life, death, God, and then Miranda, the girl who sucked the lemon from the lemon tree; together with his greatest fear, the fear of losing a child. But not just any child. it was little Bonnie Valentine.
