"Hi! Thanks for visiting." --Amy Houts
New ReleaseVera Maye is a 19-year old slide trombone player who lives near the small town of Maryville, Missouri. She dreams of doing something important for the women’s suffrage movement, but there’s not much opportunity in her rural community.
But then, as a member of the Missouri Ladies Military Band, Vera Maye is invited to travel 1,000 miles by train to lead a suffrage parade. Just after the parade begins, the happy cheering turns into angry insults, and throngs of spectators block the parade route. Vera Maye and the members of the Ladies Band must stand and face the blockade if they are to stir the course of history! |
