Georgia Adler might be from a small town near Atlanta, but don’t call her a peach! Before the release of her debut novel, a top literary critic reviews her book as a “contemporary masterpiece of epic proportions.” As a result, Georgia is named one of America’s most promising new authors. When her agent sends out a press kit with her photo—which Georgia expressly instructed her not to include—magazine editors and talk show promoters across the country clamor for her attention.

Against her better judgment, Georgia reluctantly grants a few interviews, and a whirlwind publicity tour begins. After the first few press stops, the frustrated young novelist regrets the lack of privacy and not writing under a pen name. Instead of happily writing at home in her jeans and T-shirt, she’s all dolled-up and being promoted as something she’s not. Why did things have to get so complicated?

Grayson Chambers walks into a tempest when he visits his friend Nick in Manhattan. He’d only planned on lunch, but a new female novelist who’s taking the literary world by storm is being interviewed. As the managing editor of a trendy New York magazine, Nick’s in desperate need of an immediate replacement for the ailing male model. Swallowing his misgivings, Gray steps in to model professionally one last time. He can tolerate working with a demanding, beautiful diva for a few hours if it’ll give him the opportunity to publicize his foundation to thousands of people. He’ll be paid extremely well for a short time in front of the cameras, so what could be the harm? It’s a win-win situation.

After Georgia meets the devastatingly handsome Grayson, she begins to question the very crux of her novel, and Grayson wonders if the basis for his foundation is misguided. Is this a “chance” meeting between them or a way for God to reveal His own plans for their lives individually or perhaps even…together?

 As the daughter of a lighting technician and a costumer, Madalina (“Madi”) Pavel grew up in the shadows of the famed Metropolitan Opera House in New York. To fulfill her twelfth birthday wish, her parents dressed her in a beautiful gown and positioned her beneath the spotlight at center stage. Young Madi poured her all into an aria, blissfully unaware the opera’s general manager listened from a seat in the darkened theater. Now 26, after extensive training and traveling the world, Madalina is the coloratura soprano understudy for the Met Opera who seeks the breakout role of a lifetime.

Julian Rhodes is the owner/manager of Harmonia, a popular Manhattan breakfast bistro frequented by the Met staff and performers.

Come backstage for a firsthand look into the fascinating world of the opera where stories are beautifully and passionately told through drama and song. Only A Breath Away examines how faith in Christ, close family ties, and the strong bonds of friendship can help a young couple juggle the hectic demands of their individual careers while navigating the sometimes murky waters of romance. And how through the unpredictable twists and turns of life, God can make the seemingly impossible…very possible indeed.

Galilea Westwood loves playing a mermaid at Fort Lauderdale’s AquaWorld, but recently she’s started to question her future at the family-friendly tourist attraction. Her family has always been embarrassed by what she does for a living, and nearly every man she’s dated has eventually cast her aside for a woman with a “real” job. When the pranks of park insiders become more brazen and personal, is it time for Lea to finally hang up the monofin and put her marketing degree to good use?

When Hamilton Bryant brings his ten-year-old niece, Francesca, to AquaWorld, he finds himself captivated by the lovely Delphine, star mermaid of the Underwater Spectacular. For a guy grounded on two legs, a commercial architect who keeps his nose stuck in design projects, Hamilton wonders how she could possibly be as enchanting on dry land as under the sea…or is she merely an illusion of the perfect, unattainable woman?

After tumultuous circumstances unexpectedly bring them together once more, Lea and Hamilton join forces to keep Frannie safe. In the midst of the storm, they learn surprising truths about themselves, one another, and the power of faith in a loving and merciful heavenly Father.

Growing up near Philadelphia, Allison Cunningham landed her first chorus spot at eight, her first speaking part at twelve, and now at 28, her first starring role in an off-Broadway show at a restored theater in Brooklyn. She’s falling for her handsome producer, but Allie can’t allow her heart to get involved. Not to mention the man’s ridiculous “insurance policy” whereby he pledged never to become romantically entangled with anyone in the company of one of his stage productions.

Playwright and theatrical producer Jason Graham only had one woman in mind for the title character of Isabel Garibaldi when he wrote the script for his newest production, Along Came Prosperity. He’s admired Allie Cunningham since they attended the same private academy for the performing arts as teenagers. As they spend long hours together in rehearsals and mentoring teenagers at a theatre workshop, Jason finds it increasingly difficult to hide his feelings for his beautiful leading lady.

When one obstacle after another threatens the show’s preview opening night, the production becomes more like Along Came Trouble. Will a major hiccup and an unfortunate misstep sabotage Allie’s promising career before it begins? Will it sound the death knell for Jason’s play so that it’ll never make the transition to the Great White Way?

Join Allie and Jason as they navigate life in the spotlight as well as the private moments that shape their lives and reveal the faithfulness of a loving heavenly Father. Add in a lively cast of supporting players—including a chorus line dancer, a mysterious homeless man, a group of inquisitive teenagers, and a stranger from the past—and you’ll keep turning the pages as you step into the fascinating world of a New York live stage production.
