The Poet & the Singer Bud Russo

What do you do when you meet your soul mate? How should your life unfold? Singer Anne Melandrevich, who uses the stage name Annie Melodie, and her husband, Geof Barringer, the poet - two poor and struggling artists - know they're meant for each other and make the most of the love they share. When Anne is discovered by a Nashville producer, her career skyrockets, giving them what they've dreamed of. But how were they to know everything they wanted was everything they had? Conflicted between supporting his wife's career and wanting to go back to the way their lives once were, Geof becomes so envious, he leaves for Europe. There he remains, until the story's climax challenges his and Anne's strength and fortitude.
