Unlikely Duet

Caroline Chappell practiced long and hard for her recital on the piano and organ in Caledonia's Methodist Episcopal Church. She even took up the trumpet and composed a duet to perform with Joshua Bolden, an ace trumpet player whom she'd long admired. Now, two days before the performance, it looks as if her recital will be upstaged by a hastily planned street concert by the Caledonia Band Until Neal Taman steps in. With grace and ease, this urbane newcomer resolves the conflict between Caroline and the band. For this, she is grateful. But when he offers her comely cousin, Deborah, employment in a far-off city, suspicions arise. Is this supposedly overworked banker's son really seeking rest and a change of scene in the Village of Caledonia, or has he come to this small, rural community for some darker purpose?
