Banjo Man

by Sally Goldenbaum

Laurie O'Neill had led the most sheltered life possible for twenty-three years. When she arrived in Washington at midnight she couldn't help but be shocked: the nuns had never taught her how to act when face-to-face with a half-naked man! But in that moment Rick Westin was seduced by the haunting innocence in Laurie's eyes, and yearned to be her teacher, her friend...and her lover. With his banjo he enchanted her, weaving a tapestry of emotion around her untried heart. But when her free-spirited troubadour invited her to share his journey, Laurie's newfound courage fled. Could she forsake all she was sure of for an uncertain destiny with her love?
