Short Story Prequel from the Winds of Change Saga.
“Wild as a March hare in spring!” That’s how many of the villagers in 1898 Bunratty, Ireland describe the adventuresome January Cola Buchanan. But she doesn’t care. She has the voice of an angel and the looks of a siren and she intends to make the most of her talents. So when two American entrepreneurs come to Ireland scouting singing talent to record on their new phonograph discs, she sets her sights on returning with them to America. But first she must convince her longtime beau John McLaren that this is a good idea for both of them knowing that they might never see their homeland or their families again.
