Emma

By Jerry Fino

Smiling, Hattie whispers to herself, "Of course it's him" as she gazes at Frank "Gio" Giovanelli through the slightly open door of his classroom. Unbeknownst to Gio, This free flowing southern transplant is about to knock and set in motion a wonderfully bizarre and unimaginable alliance. Hatton Amelia Baker is as vibrant as Bouguereau's "Return of Spring," which hangs in the esteemed Joslyn Art Museum where she works. This spirited, leggy new arrival to Omaha brings with her unsettling psychic visions and dreamlike recollections of people and places that pre-date her relocation to the city. Hattie's quest is to reconnect with a past relationship, while Frank's goal is to distance himself from one. Together, surprisingly, they soon discover that they hold the key to the other's respective unfinished business and a second chance at joyous surrender that has eluded them both. Hattie and Gio's charming and ebullient journey in search of a soft landing place in each other invites the reader to believe once again in the passion, possibility, and promise of requited love.
