The Strings of My Heart
Rita Costanzi's "The Strings of My Heart" is a compelling Memoir of a World-Celebrated Harpist, composed of forty-seven Vignettes, one for each of the forty-seven strings of her Concert Grand Harp. It is the touching life story of an Artist as daughter, wife, mother, grandmother, mystic and divorcée, which explores the vulnerabilities of a female musician torn between the needs of her artist's soul and those of her husband and children.
Whether in the concert hall or at the bedside of the dying, the author and her harp bring the Gifts of beauty, comfort and soul transformation to a troubled world in need of healing.
As Canadian Educator, Larry Johnson affirms in his Afterword: "I'm sure all readers of these moving narratives will revive strong memories of their own, as they find themselves transported upon the resonant notes that sound from the strings of this author's heart."
