Tom Foster and Noah Webster have been together for three years. In that time, Tom has completed his doctorate, Noah has begun working on his master's, and both men have come into their own as performers. Suddenly international recognition becomes a reality instead of a dream. They even perform at the dedication of a concert hall at the University of Aragoni.<br><br>But it's not all smooth sailing. They still have to battle Noah's Uncle Joe over the division of property he owned with Noah's late father. Tom's father has been distant ever since Tom chose music over law school. And Noah's mother's attitude toward his relationship with Tom leaves something to be desired. With their busy performance schedules, will Tom and Noah be able to make peace with their parents and get a fair deal?

The Performers

“Don’t be so modest,” Tom said. “You were invited to sing the title role in the Elijahat the Bach Festival at Rollins College, and more recently you performed and recorded it with the Atlanta Symphony and Chorus.”


“I don’t like to brag,” Noah said.


“It’s not bragging when it’s an accomplished fact,” Tom said.


“I agree,” Dr. Mabry said, “and I wouldn’t mind hearing you sing, Noah.”


“Give me a minute,” Tom said. He dug into the captain’s case and produced a CD. “This is a recording of our Elijahat Good Shepherd. It’s not quite a professional recording, but it’s more than adequate to give you an idea of Noah’s capabilities.”


He handed the CD to Dr. Mabry, then returned to work at the organ. During a long pause, Noah said, “Is it just me, or does this organ sound a lot like our organ at the Church of the Good Shepherd.”
