Save The Last Dance

A handsome young boy, Charlie, dreams of becoming a famous musician and winning the heart of his childhood sweetheart, Fanny. He does both. He becomes perhaps the most famous accordionist of the 20th Century, while she grows up waiting, hoping, expecting him to ask for her hand. She waits and waits. He drifts into the dalliances of fame and stardom. Their lives crisscross and intersect over some 80 years. Their emotions run the human gamut. In the end, there is a reconciliation, of sorts. They are buried in the same cemetery in the Bronx. Author M.G. Crisci should know, because Fanny was his mother.
