Life was
good for Ben and Norma, a golden couple who loved their professions, their
friends, their leisure and each other. Each one compromised one major need
before having married.
Fourteen years of her life were close to idyllic until
a need stirs in Norma that dramatically threatens their relationship. Now
she is thrown like flotsam and jetsam into a roiling turbulent sea during
one summer's vacation on Cape Cod. Her journey of self-discovery eventually
leads her to make an agonizing choice.
Dorothy Strauss was an English teacher at a New York City high school for many years. She came to Cape Cod where she is now a well-known local artist. Crescendo is her first
novel.
