title: Rosemary's Rhapsody
author: Hoffman, Marcella
description:  The Hearts in Harmony series by Marcella Taylor Hoffman will satisfy readers looking for tasteful romance. These books portray real women in historical settings, describing their day-to-day responsibilities in detail --. women  who learned difficult lessons about life with the help of God. These strong heroines also come to understand the value of family ties which open the heart to all kinds of love. Family music is one of the bonds that continues to hold the family together as it grows by leaps and bounds.
  
   The series covers a time period romance readers have seen little of, from the 1930s through World War II and on to the post-war boom of the late 1950s. It is a chronicle of the Alverson family, with each generation shown in a new venture.
  
   Excellent stories for young readers interested in the day-t0-day events of families who lived in another time, and especially appealing to older readers who may have experienced those times, or heard stories about them from parents.
