Fly, My Darling: A Love Story

A soulful memoir of desire and a woman’s midlife quest to let go, in jazz and in life.

Lisa, a classically trained pianist, wife, and mother, yearns for something she can’t define. After she begins a study of jazz improv with an outspoken, trailblazing musician from the ’70s girl band era, a woman who encourages Lisa to let go musically and emotionally, life takes an unexpected, irrevocable turn. When they become lovers, what began as a desire to learn jazz becomes a lesson in letting go: with music, with an old way of living, and finally with life itself.
