Things are finally looking up for the 1940's band leader Jerry Michaels. With his lovely new wife, Lynne, by his side, he and his orchestra are offered a two-month tour across the Midwestern United States. But Jerry quickly discovers that, even during the best of times, life is full of decisions and challenges.
Should he put his college education on hold while he chases his dream of success in the music business? What about his new calling for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints that causes him to wonder how he'll ever find enough time to serve? And then there's the matter of the well-intentioned yet slightly annoying brother in his ward who is constantly asking to join Jerry's band.
When the Hal Whitaker Program needs a last-minute substitute orchestra, the stage is set for the Jerry Michaels Orchestra to perform their new original song, Heart Skips a Beat, to a national radio audience. The next step is to record the song in time for Valentine's Day. All the pieces seem to miraculously fall into place, but will a crazy marketing and advertising plan to sell the record actually work?
This lighthearted and humorous novel will enchant you with music and memories from the swing era as you follow Jerry and Lynne through a series of difficult choices and pleasant surprises. In the end, your heart may not skip a beat, but it's sure to be uplifted.
