Synopsis

"Courage" presents two novellas depicting how two young people confront adversity. Daphne Carter is a vivacious, witty, wealthy twenty-year-old with a social conscience and a glamorous job in the Kennedy White House. She has everything going for her -- until she doesn't. Alfred Albright is an imaginative, wealthy, debonair thirty-year-old with unlimited horizons. He has the world for his playground -- until he doesn't. Daphne and Alfred share a single-minded determination to regain a sense of normalcy, but the outcomes of their respective efforts are stunningly different. "These two subtly interconnected novellas offer a compelling insider's glimpse of the privileged world of East Coast Society in the 1960s -- a world that is gone with the wind." --Stephen Birmingham, Author "Our Crowd"
